   There are two ways to interpret that question.   
      
   It's the correct murder charge in the sense that it isn't "wrong" --   
   failure to prove aggravated murder still leaves open the "lesser   
   included offense" of regular old garden-variety murder. (Not what the   
   statute is actually called.)   
      
   It's (arguably) not the correct murder charge because (I don't think)   
   the aggravating factor can be proven.

   I don't think that's the law in any state.
