Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the conviction for attempted homicide should be qualified as attempted intentional homicide rather than attempted Totschlag due to an excusable violent emotional state.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The defendant did not act in an excusable heated emotional state; the privileged offense of Art. 113 StGB was inapplicable.
Extrahierte Begründung
He had himself triggered and escalated the conflict by calling the victim, arousing the dispute, arming himself, continuing the argument, and reacting in a setting that was not sufficiently surprising or excusable. Any emotional agitation was not objectively understandable for an average member of the legal community, and the victim's insults were not exceptionally grave.
