A pickpocket reached into a tourist's coat pocket intending to steal a wallet. The pocket was empty, and police arrested the pickpocket as his hand came out.
Which statement best describes the pickpocket's factual-impossibility argument?

Choose the Best Answer

Factual impossibility is a complete defense only when the defendant used ordinary tools. Factual impossibility is generally not a defense to attempt when the defendant intended the crime and believed the facts allowed it. Attempt liability exists only if completion was actually possible at the moment of arrest. A defendant cannot attempt to steal from an empty pocket because there is no intent.
