He didnt attempt to murder the kid, because murder in the eyes of the law is premeditated
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/premeditated, so yea if you go hammer in hand and planned to then that would be murder, he didnt so thats why the charge was attempted manslaughter which is a different deffinition

No one can take away whats happend or even know what was really going through Mr Harveys head at the time, but he was a well liked and respected member of the school team.

Not really Flyboy. He didnt try anything and the fetish part is my assumption. Its needed in schools, kids know that can get away with anything and the worse that can happen is exclusion. Hell when I was a kid if I knew I could do what I want and the most I could be punished was to be told to stay away from school for a few weeks I could have been a lot more disruptive and a major pain in the schooling system. But I knew the limits of what I could do because the punishment was there. The slipper never really hurt but a ruler across the knuckles or 6 of the cane across the arse was a deterant.
