Decisione estratta
The defendant acted with a particularly lacking sense of scruple; his revengeful, purely egoistic motive and cold, relentless manner justified attempted assassination.
Motivazione estratta
He wanted to kill a person who had not wronged him, out of jealousy and revenge after a breakup; he waited for hours, armed himself, fired repeatedly at a fleeing and wounded victim, and then left without concern for her life.
