Appeal trial
Attempted murder with a wine glass: 13 years in prison confirmed
The violent offender who tried to kill an opponent outside a nightclub in the center of Salzburg asked for leniency. However, a panel of judges at the Higher Regional Court ultimately confirmed the sentence.
The man from Flachgau (28) has already had to appear before a jury twice - due to the first sentence being overturned. However, the jury also decided in the second trial: guilty of attempted murder. The sentence was 13 years in prison at the beginning of March.
Cut with a broken wine glass
The background to the trial was the bloody crime that took place outside a pub in Salzburg on November 3, 2022: the 28-year-old cut his opponent in the neck with a broken wine glass - a life-threatening wound that was 15 centimetres long and two centimetres deep. On Wednesday, the convicted man asked for the sentence to be reduced at the appeal trial: "I am very, very sorry."
The public prosecutor and defense lawyer had previously presented arguments. However, they had no effect on the panel of judges at the Higher Regional Court: in the end, the 13-year prison sentence was upheld.
