You have received notification that against you on suspicion of dangerous bodily harm according to Section 224 of the Criminal Code is being investigated or is it already an indictment? It is worth mandating an experienced criminal defense attorney here.
The alleged offense is defined by law as follows:
(1) Who the assault
1. through the introduction of poison or other harmful substances, 2. by means of a weapon or other dangerous tool, 3. by means of a cunning attack,
4. jointly with another person involved; or 5. by means of life-threatening treatment
commits, is punished with imprisonment of six months to ten years, in less serious cases with imprisonment of three months to five years.
(2) The attempt is punishable.
This basically means that in this act, it is not the success that is punished with a high penalty, but the nature of the act. It is particularly common to accuse bodily harm by means of a dangerous tool or by jointly.
A dangerous tool is understood to be an object which, depending on its nature and specific use, is suitable in individual cases to cause serious injuries. These serious injuries do not have to occur, the tool only has to be suitable for causing them. Since the perpetrator committed the bodily harm “using” the dangerous tool, it is easy to determine whether it was suitable for the chosen use. In the case of “shoed feet”, the shoe and not the foot is the tool. The more robust the shoe, the more dangerous. In individual cases, it is important to present the investigating authorities with the specific use and object as safely as possible. There is no general “instruction manual” for this, but your defense lawyer can use his knowledge of similar cases here.
Bodily harm is committed jointly if at least two people cooperate with one another and stand directly opposite the victim in the crime scene area. Under certain circumstances, the second person does not need to act on the victim. Even standing close by can result in a prison sentence of several years. Here, too, an experienced defender will and must bring his knowledge and skills to bear.

This is all the more important as a fine of over 90 daily rates is already entered in the certificate of good conduct and this can be more serious for the personal future than the actual penalty.
