(1)  An attempt to commit a crime is an act or omission done or made with intent to commit that crime, and forming part of a series of events which if it were not interrupted would constitute the actual commission of the crime.

(2)  The offence of attempting to commit a crime may be committed, although the offender voluntarily desists from the actual commission of the crime itself, and whether under the circumstances it was possible to commit such crime or not.

(3)  The point at which such a series of events as aforesaid begins depends upon the circumstances of each particular case.

(4)  Whether an act or omission is, or is not, too remote to constitute an attempt to commit a crime is a question of law.
