Any person with a modicum of common sense would be able to tell that he tried to kill her. What other purpose is there to throwing someone down onto train tracks they wouldnt be easy to climb out of. I personally think the police shouldve shot him when they found him to remove scum like this from the face of the earth.

Intent is a bullshit thing that needs to be removed from the law. Either you did the crime or you didnt. It shouldnt matter whether you intended to do it or not. In this case, his actions couldve caused murder, therefor its attempted murder.
If you go shopping and forget that you had a 50 pound bag of dog food on the bottom of your cart and pay for the rest of your stuff and not the dog food, you didnt intend to steal it but you still stole it and can and should be prosecuted for theft.
