(A) It shall be unlawful for any person to attempt to commit a crime. A person attempts to commit a crime if that person:
(1) Intentionally engages in conduct which would constitute the crime if the attendant circumstances were as the person believes them to be; or
(2) Intentionally engages in conduct which, under the circumstances as the person believes them to be, constitutes a substantial step in the course of conduct intended to culminate in commission of the crime.
(B) When causing a particular result is an element of the crime, a person shall be guilty of an attempt to commit the crime if, acting with the state of mind required to establish liability with respect to the attendant circumstances specified in the definition of the crime, the person intentionally engages in conduct which is a substantial step in a course of conduct intended or known to cause such a result.
(C) Conduct shall not be considered a substantial step under this section unless it is strongly corroborative of the defendant’s criminal intent.
