class=\"subsection\">Every person who attempts to commit any crime, but fails, or is prevented or intercepted in its perpetration, shall be punished where no provision is made by law for the punishment of those attempts, as follows:<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(a)\u2002If the crime attempted is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison,\u00a0<span class=\"added-material\">or by imprisonment pursuant to\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">subdivision (h) of Section 1170\u00a0<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0the person guilty of the attempt shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison\u00a0<span class=\"added-material\">or in a county jail, respectively,<\/span>\u00a0for one-half the term of imprisonment prescribed upon a conviction of the offense attempted. \u2002However, if the crime attempted is willful, deliberate, and premeditated murder, as defined in\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">Section 189\u00a0<\/span>, the person guilty of that attempt shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for life with the possibility of parole. \u2002If the crime attempted is any other one in which the maximum sentence is life imprisonment or death, the person guilty of the attempt shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for five, seven, or nine years. \u2002The additional term provided in this section for attempted willful, deliberate, and premeditated murder shall not be imposed unless the fact that the attempted murder was willful, deliberate, and premeditated is charged in the accusatory pleading and admitted or found to be true by the trier of fact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(b)\u2002If the crime attempted is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail, the person guilty of the attempt shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail for a term not exceeding one-half the term of imprisonment prescribed upon a conviction of the offense attempted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(c)\u2002If the offense so attempted is punishable by a fine, the offender convicted of that attempt shall be punished by a fine not exceeding one-half the largest fine which may be imposed upon a conviction of the offense attempted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(d)\u2002If a crime is divided into degrees, an attempt to commit the crime may be of any of those degrees, and the punishment for the attempt shall be determined as provided by this section.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(e)\u2002Notwithstanding subdivision (a), if attempted murder is\u00a0<span class=\"wordphrase\">committed upon a peace officer or firefighter, as those terms are defined in paragraphs (7) and (9) of subdivision (a) of Section 190.2, a custodial officer<\/span>, as that term is defined in\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">subdivision (a) of Section 831\u00a0<\/span>or\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">subdivision (a) of Section 831.5\u00a0<\/span>, a custody assistant, as that term is defined in\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">subdivision (a) of Section 831.7\u00a0<\/span>, or a nonsworn uniformed employee of a sheriff&#8217;s department whose job entails the care or control of inmates in a detention facility, as defined in\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">subdivision (c) of Section 289.6\u00a0<\/span>, and the person who commits the offense knows or reasonably should know that the victim is a peace officer, firefighter, custodial officer, custody assistant, or nonsworn uniformed employee of a sheriff&#8217;s department engaged in the performance of his or her duties, the person guilty of the attempt shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for life with the possibility of parole.<\/p>\n<p>This subdivision shall apply if it is proven that a direct but ineffectual act was committed by one person toward killing another human being and the person committing the act harbored express malice aforethought, namely, a specific intent to unlawfully kill another human being. \u2002The Legislature finds and declares that this paragraph is declaratory of existing law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(f)\u2002Notwithstanding subdivision (a), if the elements of subdivision (e) are proven in an attempted murder and it is also charged and admitted or found to be true by the trier of fact that the attempted murder was willful, deliberate, and premeditated, the person guilty of the attempt shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for 15 years to life. \u2002Article 2.5 (commencing with\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">Section 2930\u00a0<\/span>) of Chapter 7 of Title 1 of Part 3 shall not apply to reduce this minimum term of 15 years in state prison, and the person shall not be released prior to
