Kernrechtsfrage
Whether X. had standing to complain about Y.'s statements as defamatory
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The statements, read objectively, could impute to X. participation in an aggressive attack and were capable of harming his reputation.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that several statements did not concern only the third person allegedly carrying a machete; they also suggested that X. had assaulted Z. immediately before the shot, or had acted as accomplice or co-perpetrator. That was enough to make a defamation complaint admissible.
