1. brief Sun is an employee of a certain industrial and commercial bureau. He found Shen, the director of the bureau, because of work problems and asked Shen to solve the problem for him. Shen mou has arranged to go out to receive guests, so he asked sun mou to come back in the afternoon and prepare to go out by bus. Sun did not agree, insisted on letting Shen solve the problem for him now, and grabbed the rearview mirror of Shen's vehicle to prevent him from leaving. Several colleagues from the same unit came to persuade Sun to let go of the rearview mirror and let Shen receive the guests first, but Sun did not let go and insisted that Shen solve the problem. Seeing this situation, Shen decided to let others go out to receive guests instead of himself, and invited Sun to go to the unit canteen for lunch with himself. Sun still disagreed, and Shen went to Sun to pull Sun to the canteen for dinner. Sun disagreed and pushed Shen's chest. Later, Shen and Sun both fell to the ground. When Shen fell, his right wrist landed first. The hospital film showed that Shen had a comminuted fracture of his right wrist. After injury identification, Shen's right wrist comminuted fracture constitutes minor injury grade II. 2. jurisprudence analysis The crime involved in this case is the crime of intentional injury, and its basic meaning is: the perpetrator's illegal injury to others causes the consequences of minor injury or more, and the perpetrator has a hopeful or laissez-faire attitude towards the consequences of the injury, which constitutes the crime. In this case, according to Sun's confession, he broke off the mirror of the car, and Shen pulled him to eat. His hand couldn't hold on to let go, causing both of them to fall. According to the testimony of the victim Shen and other witnesses, when Shen pulled Sun, Sun was between Shen's feet and pushed Shen with his hand, causing Shen to fall. Whether it is Sun's confession, the victim's statement or the witness's testimony, it can be seen that the result of the victim Shen's right wrist injury has a causal relationship with Sun's behavior. In this case, it is necessary to further examine whether Sun's subjective aspect has intentionally hurt Shen. In the view of some judicial officers, any misconduct (such as minor violence or general assault) may cause harm, and the perpetrator is aware that his or her actions will result in harm. That being the case, the perpetrator nevertheless committed misconduct, indicating that the perpetrator wished or allowed the outcome to occur. Thus, as long as a certain act causes minor injury, the perpetrator bears criminal responsibility for the crime of intentional injury. However, from a conceptual point of view, this approach is a remnant of the responsibility for the result, that is, as long as the victim is slightly injured, even if the perpetrator is not intentional or even negligent, the perpetrator must be held criminally responsible for the crime of intentional injury. From the theory of criminal law, this kind of practice adopts the abstract conformity theory in the intentional judgment. Article 14 of my country's "Criminal Law" stipulates: "Those who know that their actions will result in harm to society, and hope or allow such results to occur, thus constituting a crime, are intentional crimes." The "own behavior" refers to the concrete behavior that causes harmful results, rather than the behavior in the abstract general sense. Even in the abstract sense, minor violence or general assault may cause minor injuries, but the behavior is always performed in a specific time and space. Moreover, from the general social experience, the vast majority of minor violence or general beatings are difficult to cause minor injuries. When the perpetrator carries out minor violence or general beating on a specific object, especially when the behavior is not continuous and continuous, and only pushes or hits, even if minor injuries are caused, the perpetrator should not be deemed to have intentional injury. The Supreme People's Procuratorate's evaluation of the Fuzhou Zhao Yu case believes that "although there is a serious injury result, the intention of injury cannot be introduced", and this serious injury result is not deliberately pursued by Zhao Yu subjectively, but the result of negligence. Specific to the case of sun suspected of intentional injury, we can see whether sun has "criminal intention to hurt Shen" subjectively from the following two aspects ". On the one hand, Sun's purpose of looking for Shen that day was to let him solve his work problems, not to hurt Shen. The result of Shen's injury is not only not what he subjectively pursues, but also what Sun subjectively rejects; on the other hand, even if Sun stumbles Shen with his foot and pushes him with his hand, it will not cause harm to others under normal circumstances. It is difficult for Sun to foresee that Shen's comminuted fracture of his right wrist after falling to the ground constitutes a minor injury. Moreover, the physical condition of the victim Shen in this case is not special. In this case, it is difficult to determine that Sun has the intention of "knowing that his behavior will result in bodily harm to others, and hoping that others will be physically harmed. In other words, Sun is only negligent in the minor injury to the victim, but the act of causing minor injury through negligence does not establish a crime. Therefore, Sun's behavior should not be treated as a crime. Summary Compared with the Zhao Yu case, Zhao Yu's behavior of stepping on and kicking others in the abdomen was found not to have the intention of injury, and in this case, Sun's tripping or pushing was even more not found to have the intention of injury. In addition, when the cause of the victim Shen's injury is unknown and Sun does not plead guilty, it is not appropriate to determine that Sun's behavior is suspected of intentional injury.
