He fired towards the mall: a man from Znojmo struck a passerby with a rifle

Doctors diagnosed the injured person with a right hand shot upon arrival. The cross originally left the place, but the police did not know at all whether this was a targeted attack. Thanks to the rapid progress of criminal investigators, the man ended up among the suspects in just two days. “The defendant himself describes the defense as confusing, the court considers it purposeful. Even though she did not intend to injure anyone, she acted in violation of the law, “said Judge Šárka Dufková.
The treatment lasted several weeks for the victim, according to the court panel, it was very lucky that the bullet only hit the man superficially. The defendant fired from a distance of about thirteen meters, but fatal injuries could also cause a shot from up to four kilometers. “We consider the appeal to be unfounded. The objections raised are not justified, as the district court has already dealt with them. Therefore, I propose to dismiss the appeal in its entirety, “argued Public Prosecutor Jana Čuhelová.

Kříž now has to pay more than thirty-seven thousand crowns as compensation to the health insurance company, thirty-four thousand have lost their earnings as compensation and over eighty thousand as non-pecuniary damage. In total, they will pay over one hundred and fifty thousand crowns in compensation. “The defendant did not find out about the crime, he only had to admit the shooting, saying that he was reckless. He did not apologize to the victim and did not compensate for the damage. That is why he was sentenced to an educational sentence with regard to the fact that he did not experience any self-reflection, “explained the chairwoman of the judicial panel, Šárka Dufková.
Kříž’s lawyer Ivan Nezval proposed to set aside the original verdict and return the case to a new trial in the district court. However, the man was convicted of sufficient circumstantial evidence. She will now spend two and a half years on probation, and if she violates it, she will spend six months in prison. The verdict is final.
