Key legal question
Whether the defendant's admissions amounted to sincere remorse under Art. 48 lit. d CP.
Extracted holding
No. His partial admissions and limited cooperation did not show a particularly meritorious, self-sacrificing act of repentance.
Extracted reasoning
Sincere remorse requires spontaneous, disinterested, and notably meritorious conduct, not mere confessions or regrets. The defendant withheld key information, his admissions were only partial and did not involve special sacrifice, and the canton could treat them instead as a factor within ordinary sentencing under Art. 47 CP.
