Questão jurídica principal
Whether omission to render aid under Art. 128 CP can be upheld when the accused did not personally inflict the initial injury.
Decisão extraída
Yes. It is enough that the accused’s conduct was one causal link in the chain that caused the victim’s injuries; personal infliction of the final blow is not required.
Fundamentação extraída
By taking part in the manhunt, finding the victim in the woods, alerting the other assailants, and failing to stop the violence, the appellant helped bring about the beating and thereby caused the injuries within the meaning of Art. 128 CP.
