Question juridique clé
Whether the 12-month prison sentence should have been fully suspended under Art. 42 CP instead of only partially suspended under Art. 43 CP.
Solution extraite
The Federal Court held that the cantonal court had not sufficiently examined whether execution of the previously revoked three-month sentence would already be enough to improve the prognosis, so the refusal of full suspension could not stand.
Motifs extraits
For a sentence within the overlap of Arts. 42 and 43 CP, full suspension is the rule and partial suspension the exception. The court must consider whether a lesser measure, including execution of a previous sentence after revocation, would suffice for special prevention before resorting to partial suspension.
