Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal appeal court could increase the appellant's monetary sentence after partially accepting the plaintiff's appeal on guilt.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Where the plaintiff's appeal on culpability is ultimately rejected, the appeal court may not worsen the sentence absent a prosecutor appeal or joint appeal.
Extrahierte Begründung
The additional conviction for one insult was coupled with exemption from punishment; in this setting the plaintiff's appeal failed on guilt, so revising the sentence to the appellant's detriment violated the prohibition of reformatio in peius and Art. 382 CPP.
