Questão jurídica principal
Whether the accused acted with eventual intent to cause serious bodily injury to C. and attempted serious bodily injury to A. and B.
Decisão extraída
Yes. Given the group attack, the number of assailants, and the weapons carried, the appellate court could find that the accused accepted the risk of serious bodily injury.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Court held that the appellate court applied the correct concept of eventual intent. Its conclusion that the accused, at least from the start of the attack, accepted the likelihood of serious bodily injury was a factual finding binding in cassation and not arbitrary.
