Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court established the facts arbitrarily regarding eventual intent
Extracted holding
No. The court could reasonably find that X. deliberately used the bat to strike and accepted the risk of serious injury; his post-offence conduct was a permissible corroborating factor.
Extracted reasoning
The evidence supported that he took the fallen bat to use it offensively, hit with force, and was not in a confusion state excluding awareness. The federal court found no manifest insustainability.
