Batch in cash: Family father confronted in court with high costs!

A violent incident that causes excitement in St. Pölten: A 41-year-old pensioner was convicted by the regional court for serious bodily harm. According to the indictment, on August 2, 2024, he is said to have stolen his wallet in St. Pöltner Park, after an examination of another man. He is said to have given his victim several kicks against the head and upper body. However, the circumstances of the incident became complicated during the process, because both the accused and the victim had apparently consumed too much alcohol.

The accused, who has already been convicted, tried to defend himself by claiming that the kicks were not intentionally. "Maybe I tried to get space with my feet," the man said in court. The judge also found that the witness, who informed the police, also did not leave a clear impression and characterized the Situation as a "argument between two drunk people", as the defender Nora Maximiuk summarized. Ultimately, the defendant accepted a judgment of 14 months in prison for a mild bodily harm, which is now legally bodied, such as meindezirk.at reported.

Financial consequences for perpetrators and damaged

But the legal difficulties could have even more financial consequences for perpetrators. An example from Germany illustrates this: a man who was involved in an escalating argument in a bar violated his counterpart seriously. The consequence: a fine of 4,500 euros plus a pain and suffering of 8,000 euros for the victim, as this suffered significant health impairments for weeks. Thus, the perpetrator has to pay a total of 12,500 euros, which shows the danger that is hidden in the criminal and civil law area for aggressors, as Gross-haertlein.de Shows.

The two cases illustrate how quickly a discussion in violence can turn and which legal and financial consequences can result. In both scenarios, the question of how to prevent violent conflicts remains a central topic in our society.
