AustriaA 16-year-old boy, who has three prior convictions, is on trial for severely injuring his younger cousin by breaking his lower jaw during a fight. The incident occurred on June 19 when the defendant allegedly kicked his cousin in the face and then punched him repeatedly. Prosecutors believe the attack was motivated by revenge after the cousin testified against him in a previous case, leading to a conditional sentence. The accused claims the fight was 'for fun' and denies any intent to harm. He has been previously convicted for assault, attempted coercion, burglary, and commercial burglary. His legal team argues he has made efforts to reform, including participating in vocational training. The court will decide whether his sentence will be served in a juvenile detention facility.
