Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding mental state for aggravated assault where emergency defense was excessive.
Finnland (FI)
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the conviction for aggravated assault based on excessive emergency defense. The defendant argued that their mental state at the time negated criminal liability due to the extreme nature of the threat they faced. The court rejected this, holding that the defendant's actions exceeded the necessary limits of self-defense and thus constituted a crime.
