I 'm a 17 year old girl and my brother's wife tried to kill my brother while driving today. I wanted to know how many years can you get for attempt murder?
SlushPuppy answered Saturday May 12 2007, 5:46 pm: I'm not sure exactly how many years it is for attempted murder, but make sure you report this. It's important that this person is kept behind bars for a while because that's a horrible thing to do. [ SlushPuppy's advice column | Ask SlushPuppy A Question ]

I would think that it would be anything from 4-10 years in prison if not more (and I would certainly like to think it's a lot more than that). I think it all comes down to the circumstances and such though because I read about one guy getting a term for 4.5 years for actual bodily assult when he stabbed someone. :/ [ ammo's advice column | Ask ammo A Question ]

I'm almost positive that "attempted" murder is as bad as murder so your brother's wife could be sentenced a lifetime in jail and/or a fine. I'm pretty sure murder and attempt at murder is almost or just as bad. Or if it's not a lifetime in jail, it will be at least 20-30 years. Maybe more.
I'm sooo sorry for your brother and your whole family and that's extremely unacceptable for his WIFE to try to kill him. =/
