Question juridique clé
Whether the defendant acted in an excusable violent emotional state under Art. 113 StGB
Solution extraite
The requirements of Art. 113 StGB were not met because the defendant was not overwhelmed by an excusable affect and retained control over his conduct.
Motifs extraits
The court stressed the short duration and overwhelming nature required for affect manslaughter. The defendant’s deliberate pursuit, positioning, and aiming at the vehicle showed a planned, controlled course of action incompatible with an affect that would negate self-control.
