| 5 | | kill, or another, and, had the individual the |
| 6 | | defendant endeavored to kill died, the defendant would |
| 7 | | have negligently or accidentally caused that death, |
| 8 | | then the sentence for the attempted murder is the |
| 9 | | sentence for a Class 1 felony; |
| 10 | | (2) the sentence for attempt to commit a Class X |
| 11 | | felony is the sentence for a Class 1 felony; |
| 12 | | (3) the sentence for attempt to commit a Class 1 |
| 13 | | felony is the sentence for a Class 2 felony; |
