The court dismissed the defendant's appeal against the first-instance conviction for attempted murder. The defense argued that the victim's actions created an imminent threat justifying self-defense, but the court found no evidence of such immediacy. Consequently, the conviction was upheld because the defendant failed to meet the legal threshold for self-defense.
