and does not perform all the acts of execution which should produce the felony by reason of some cause
or accident other than his own spontaneous desistance.

OVERT ACTS- -an overt act is some physical activity or deed, indicating the intention to commit a
particular crime, more than a mere planning or preparation, which if carried to its complete termination
following its natural course, without being frustrated by external obstacles nor by the voluntary
