Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the defendant's knife use constituted justified self-defense or punishable excessive self-defense
Extrahierter Entscheid
The knife use, including the later stab to the flank, was proportionate in the concrete circumstances and remained within lawful self-defense.
Extrahierte Begründung
The defendant faced two assailants using fists and kicks, creating a serious and brutal attack. A knife could be used as an effective defense, and the defendant first used a milder stab to the knee with a warning before the later flank stab after the attack continued. The court held that the response was escalated, warning-based, and necessary to stop the ongoing assault.
