Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court violated Art. 63 CP by affirming a 27-month sentence despite important diminished responsibility and by insufficiently explaining the weighting of aggravating and mitigating factors.
Solution extraite
The cantonal reasoning did not make the sentence plausible and did not show how the relevant factors were weighed; the sentence could not stand.
Motifs extraits
The authorities listed the relevant factors but failed to explain how they led to 27 months. In particular, the 'important' diminished responsibility was not concretely assessed, while multi-recidivism was given decisive weight despite the offender's addiction and lack of enrichment motive. The federal court found the sentence exceptionally severe and insufficiently reasoned.
