Questão jurídica principal
Whether the strangling episode constituted life endangerment under Art. 129 StGB
Decisão extraída
The victim was placed in immediate life danger because the strangling substantially impaired blood flow to the brain and could at any time have caused fatal brain injury.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Court held that immediate danger means a near possibility of death. It accepted the medical reports and the lower court's factual findings as non-arbitrary and found the attack objectively life-endangering.
