A person is reckless or acts recklessly, when that person consciously disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk that circumstances exist or that a result will follow, described by the section defining the offense, and that disregard constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would exercise in the situation. An act performed recklessly is performed wantonly, within the meaning of a section using the term “wantonly,” unless the statute clearly requires another meaning.
(720 ILCS 5/4-6)
A person is negligent, or acts negligently, when that person fails to be aware of a substantial and unjustifiable risk that circumstances exist or a result will follow, described by the statute defining the offense, and that failure constitutes a substantial deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would exercise in the situation.

(A) Elements of the offense. A person commits the offense of attempt when, with intent to commit a specific offense, he or she does any act that constitutes a substantial step toward the commission of that offense.
(B) Impossibility. It is not a defense to a charge of attempt that because of a misapprehension of the circumstances it would have been impossible for the accused to commit the offense attempted.
(C) Statutory fine. A person convicted of attempt may be fined or imprisoned or both, not to exceed the maximum provided for the offense attempted. If the fine exceeds that set forth in § 130.99 below, however, the village shall enforce the offense under the provisions of state law.
