The facts

Police watched a man drive around and look closely at several banks. He put on sunglasses, a knitted cap pulled down low, white gloves and a black eyepatch. He carried a loaded revolver in his jacket pocket and wore a police scanner on his belt. He walked up to a bank and tried the front door. It was locked. He ran back to his car and drove off; police stopped him as he was pulling off his jacket. He never got inside and never demanded money. The charge is attempted armed robbery.

You have the facts the court had. Guilty or not guilty? Call it in the game with your friends, then see what the court actually decided. Wrong call, you drink.
