Key legal question
Whether the Court of Cassation erred in refusing a full suspended sentence instead of considering partial suspension under Arts. 42 and 43 CP.
Extracted holding
The cantonal court had to take account of the foreseeable effect of executing the one-month sentence whose earlier suspension was revoked; because it did not examine that point, the appeal succeeds.
Extracted reasoning
For a partial suspension, the judge must assess whether execution of part of the sentence is indispensable for special prevention. When a previous suspension is revoked, the foreseeable effect of that additional custodial term must be included in the prognosis.
