(2) However, if there is indeed an injury to the health, safety of the body or property damage of a greater magnitude, the guilty shall be punished by a heavy dungeon (preaching) from 10 to 20 years of age and in circumstances particularly aggravating the life-long severe dungeon (preaching). If such damage caused the death of a man and the perpetrator could have predicted it, be punished by death.
