Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the 4.5-year prison sentence for intentional serious bodily harm was unlawfully excessive
Extrahierter Entscheid
The sentence remained within the court's discretion; the punishment was not reduced.
Extrahierte Begründung
The lower court assessed the objective and subjective gravity of the offense, the defendant's diminished responsibility, the motive, prior record, confession, cooperation, and delay. The Federal Court found the weighting defensible and no misapplication of sentencing law.
