The court dismissed the appellant's request to aggravate the charges from attempted voluntary homicide to qualified attempted voluntary homicide. The prosecution argued that using an unlicensed pistol constituted a common danger crime under Article 132 of the Penal Code. The court ruled that the specific circumstances of the weapon's use did not meet the threshold for the aggravated charge of common danger.
