Key legal question
Whether the sentence violated Art. 47 and 50 StGB by weighing aggravating and mitigating factors arbitrarily.
Extracted holding
The sentencing assessment was within the trial court's discretion and sufficiently reasoned; no abuse of discretion was shown.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Supreme Court held that it intervenes only if the statutory range is exceeded, irrelevant criteria are used, or essential factors are ignored or misweighted. The appellate court had set out the relevant factors and its reasoning in a way that allowed review.
