Abstract

This study discusses criminal liability for perpetrators of criminal acts of assault resulting in the loss of another person's life, focusing on decision number 1055/PID.B/2024/PN MDN. It aims to analyze the legal elements involved, the qualifications of the crime, and the principles of justice applied in the case. With a qualitative approach, data were collected through case studies and document analysis. This research uses a normative legal approach and is packaged in a systematic writing that describes the steps to be taken by a researcher in research techniques. This research collects data and analyzes the application of law from court decisions raised by the author. The results of the study indicate that criminal responsibility is determined by the perpetrator's intention, the causal relationship between the act of abuse and the victim's death, and the application of the principles of retributive and restorative justice. This study recommends strengthening the justice system, legal education, and rehabilitation for perpetrators to create more comprehensive justice.
