Questão jurídica principal
Whether the respondent acted with direct intent rather than eventual intent when shooting the victim.
Decisão extraída
The Federal Supreme Court held that, on the binding findings of fact, only eventual intent could be reviewed and direct intent could not be established on the appeal record.
Fundamentação extraída
The cantonal court's findings that the respondent wanted to hurt, punish, or shock the victim, and not to kill him, were factual and not reviewable because the non-entry decision of the cantonal cassation court was not challenged. On that basis, direct intent was absent and the conviction for eventual-intent homicide did not violate federal law.
