Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the neck-cutting amounted to attempted intentional killing or only attempted serious bodily harm
Decisione estratta
The evidence did not prove a killing intent; the accused acted with eventual intent to cause serious bodily harm, and the neck injury created a very high risk of life-threatening harm.
Motivazione estratta
A targeted knife cut to the neck is highly dangerous, but the concrete circumstances did not justify inferring that death was accepted. The act nevertheless clearly satisfied attempted serious bodily harm.
