Wouldn’t the Lindburgh law cover that situation? Any death that is the result of a felony’s (attempted murder) being commited is 1st degree murder? Or is that a myth from my childhood?

No, that would like apply as well. But I only stuck murder in there because your original hypo was for murder, and I was already changing too much. If we made it wounding, though, we’d still have the doctrine of transferred intent to keep the crime as serious as it should be. So, George is wounded but doesn’t die.
Not review the evidence – review the conclusions of law. The evidence, the facts, they are stuck with. They may recite the facts; they don’t review them for correctness.
