imprisonment without parole, murder, terrorism and the court does not
impose a sentence of life imprisonment without parole, any felony of

2907.02 of the Revised Code and the penalty imposed for the violation
is life imprisonment or commits a violation of section 2903.02 of the

the offender is guilty of an attempted violation of section 2907.02
