Here's a thought

When you commit a crime, why are you given less of a punishment then when you don't succeed in carrying out the crime? For example, if someone attempts to commit a murder and the victim survives, why don't they get the same punishment as if the victim didn't survive.

This is what a judge is saying to you:

"You failed to kill that guy, so we are going to put you in prison for 10 years and when you get out, you can try to finish the job next time."

Rather than:

"You tried to kill that guy so we are going to lock you up for 50 years and by the time you get out you will be way too old to be able to kill someone."

Call me crazy, just a random thought!
