Key legal question
Whether the defendant's conduct constituted simple bodily harm rather than mere assault.
Extracted holding
The conduct was properly qualified as simple bodily harm because it caused bruising lasting about three months and severe pain.
Extracted reasoning
For the distinction under Art. 123 StGB, the extent of pain is decisive; where bruising and significant pain are caused, the act exceeds mere assault. The court is bound by the factual findings of the cantonal court.
