Key legal question
Whether the appellate court had to order a psychiatric expert opinion on criminal responsibility under Art. 13 StGB.
Extracted holding
No expert opinion was required because the record revealed no concrete circumstances creating serious doubts about the defendant's responsibility.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 13 StGB applies when the court has, or should have, doubts about responsibility. Here, the facts showed no contradiction between the act and the defendant's personality, no unusual behavior, and no other indications suggesting impaired capacity.
