In Tambov, a man was convicted of a fatal slap in a cafe

Leninsky district court of Tambov announced the verdict in the case of causing death by negligence. The defendant was a visitor to one of the local cafes, who came into conflict with another guest of the institution.

According to the materials of the proceedings, the incident occurred after the victim began to behave aggressively: he molested a woman who was in a cafe, and did not react to comments. During the exchange, the defendant hit the opponent in the face with his palm. From the impact, the man did not keep his balance, fell and hit his head on the tile floor.

The victim was taken to the hospital, where he received medical care, but it was not possible to save his life - he died from a traumatic brain injury.

During the trial, it was found that the serious consequences were not the direct intention of the defendant. The court qualified the actions of the man as careless harm.

As a result, the court found the defendant guilty and sentenced him to imprisonment for a period of one year. In addition, the court satisfied the civil claim of the injured party, deciding to recover from the convicted 500 thousand rubles as compensation for moral damage.

At the moment, the sentence has not entered into legal force, and the parties have the right to appeal it.
