In Braxton v. United States (1991) 500 U.S. 344 the defendant pleaded guilty to charges less than attempted murder. Part of the stipulation for his guilty plea was that he shot at a marshal. He was subject to an enhanced sentence if it was established that he attempted to murder one of the marshals. The United States Supreme Court held that the stipulation was not sufficient to establish that he attempted to murder one of the marshals because it was subject to two reasonable interpretations: that he shot across the room to frighten the marshals before they entered the room or that he shot across the room at the marshals when they entered the room. The Court did not find the evidence was insufficient to support a finding that defendant intended to kill; it found that the evidence was subject to more than one interpretation. (Id. at pp. 349-351.)
