Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the stabbing constituted attempted intentional homicide with eventual intent
Decisione estratta
Yes. The defendant knowingly accepted the high risk of a fatal injury when she stabbed the victim from behind into the chest area.
Motivazione estratta
A back stab penetrating to the lung created a high and well-known risk of death; the court inferred acceptance of that risk from the external circumstances and rejected the contrary argument based on the victim's survival.
