If the offense attempted to be committed is punishable by life imprisonment, or for a term of imprisonment of 5 years or more, the person convicted of such attempt is guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or up to 1 year in jail.
If the offense to be committed is punishable by imprisonment for a term less than 5 years, imprisonment in county jail, or by a fine, the offender of that attempt is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment for up to 2 years, or up to 1 year in jail, or by a $1,000 fine. In no case, however, shall the imprisonment exceed one half of the maximum punishment which may be sentenced if the attempted offense had been committed.
