I think it's illogical and stupid to consider attempted murder a lesser crime than actual murder when the victim only survived out of pure luck or the perpetrator's incompetence. It's not like this boy is alive because this asshole had a change of heart, he had the exact same mens rea that he would have had if the boy died. He presents exactly the same danger to society he would if he had been successful because his intent was exactly the same, he just knows for the future that this manner of murder might not work so well.
