"This guideline and the statute to which it applies do not require that a murder actually have been committed.".

Reason for Amendment: This amendment makes editorial improvements, and deletes a reference to the length of the maximum term of imprisonment authorized by statute for the offense covered by this section that is no longer accurate.

Effective Date: The effective date of this amendment is November 1, 1992.
