or both not to exceed the maximum provided for the offense
attempted but, except for an attempt to commit the offense

the court; and
(E) if the defendant proves by a preponderance of

attempted murder, he or she was acting under a sudden
and intense passion resulting from serious provocation
by the individual whom the defendant endeavored to
kill, or another, and, had the individual the
defendant endeavored to kill died, the defendant would
have negligently or accidentally caused that death,
then the sentence for the attempted murder is the
sentence for a Class 1 felony;
(2) the sentence for attempt to commit a Class X
felony is the sentence for a Class 1 felony;
