Questão jurídica principal
Whether attempted grievous bodily harm and attempted spreading of human diseases were established despite factual impossibility.
Decisão extraída
The conviction was upheld; the defendant acted with eventual intent and the factual impossibility did not exclude attempt liability.
Fundamentação extraída
The court maintained that unprotected sex in the belief of being HIV-positive can constitute eventual intent; the risk is taken in each individual act, even if actual transmission was impossible because the defendant was not infected.
