QUESTION? Oi has admitted to the charge but denied intent to kill. Then what was his intent? What was he thinking?

Soooo what exactly did he think would happen after he stuck a knife in his uncle's gut? That whatever tensions and conflicts between them would be magically resolved? These perps need better excuses.
