Here, from LawyerWare.com, is another specific citing of voodoo, and the statement that its factual impossibility is not a defense:

B. Factual Impossibility
1. Deals with the act.
2. No matter how hard the person tries, the crime can't be committed this way.
Trying to open a safe with a can opener
Using voodoo to kill someone
3. Not a defense.
