THE ATTEMPTED GANG ASSAULT CHARGE WAS A LEGAL IMPOSSIBILITY FOR TRIAL PURPOSES (FIRST DEPT).

“[A]ttempted gang assault in the second degree is a legal impossibility for trial purposes” … . “One cannot attempt to create an unintended result” … . People v Delacruz, 2019 NY Slip Op 08498, First Dept 11-21-19
