Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the findings on the attack, the knife use, and the witnesses were arbitrary
Extrahierter Entscheid
The factual findings were largely not arbitrary; most criticism failed, but the legal characterization of the self-defense situation was incomplete.
Extrahierte Begründung
The appellate court could rely on the accused's account and corroborating evidence for the presence of a knife, the wounded back, and the perception of an attack. The Federal Court accepted those findings as not arbitrary.
