Criminal revision for dangerous bodily harm and stalking with coercion

The German Federal Court of Criminal Revision (BGH), Sixth Senate, partially granted the defendant's appeal, ordering the partial dismissal of the proceedings regarding one count of conviction and modifying the original judgment to confirm guilt only for dangerous bodily harm and three counts of stalking (stalking), including one instance in concurrence with coercion, while rejecting the remainder of the appeal. The dispute centered on a criminal appeal challenging the lower court's findings and sentencing in a case involving violent and harassing conduct, where the appellant contested specific elements of the convictions. The decisive legal basis involved the procedural standards for criminal revision, specifically addressing the sufficiency of evidence and the correct legal qualification of the acts, leading to a reduction in the scope of the upheld convictions to reflect the proven elements of the offenses under German criminal law.
