Description
The applicable portion of the forgery statute, § 40A-16-9, supra, is subsection B, which defines forgery as "* * * knowingly issuing or transferring a forged writing with intent to injure or defraud. * * *" Defendant was convicted of an attempt to violate this subsection. His contention is that this subsection covers an attempted forgery and, therefore, our "attempt" statute, § 40A-28-1, supra, is not applicable. He asserts that when he attempted the forgery there was a violation of § 40A-16-9(B), supra, and he could not be convicted of an attempt under § 40A-28-1, supra.
