Questione giuridica chiave
Whether attempted intentional homicide concurs with the inflicted bodily injuries or consumes them.
Decisione estratta
Attempted homicide generally consumes accompanying simple or serious bodily injury when the injury has no independent significance.
Motivazione estratta
The Court reaffirmed its earlier case law: even where the killing remains attempted, the bodily injury is part of the execution stage and can be covered by the punishment for the attempt. A contrary rule would be inconsistent with Art. 22 StGB and could paradoxically punish the attempt more severely than a completed offense.
