1. “... this is not a case of one or two thoughtless (but powerful) blows inflicting much damage as was the case in Breland, Keathley [ v. State Farm Fire & Casualty Ins. Co., 594 So.2d 963 (La.App. 3rd Cir. 1992)], and Baugh [ v. Redmond, 565 So.2d 953 (La.App. 2d Cir.1990)] where it was held that the insured did not "intend nor expect" the damages that resulted. This is a case of a long, deliberate and intentional beating, resulting from anger and intention that was built up within over two previous earlier incidents and (½ hour), with the hope and expectation of inflicting severe damage on another human being as revenge.”
