338: Crime proved when attempt is charged
or “If someone is accused of trying to do a crime, they can be found guilty of actually doing it.”
You could also call this:

“A rule that used to allow part of a criminal accusation to be proven true, even if not the whole thing”

This part of the law has been removed. It used to be about ‘Part of charge proved’ in the ‘Indictments’ section of the Crimes Act 1961. The government took it out of the law on 1 July 2013. This means it no longer applies, and you can’t use it anymore.
