Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court violated federal law in fixing the sentence under Arts. 11 and 63 CP despite reduced responsibility and the attempt failing as to one victim.
Solution extraite
No. The sentence remained within the lawful discretion: the court could weigh the grave concurrence of offences, the reduced responsibility, the lack of a lawful altruistic motive, and the near completion of the attempted murder.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court held that sentencing need not follow a linear mathematical reduction for diminished responsibility; mitigating factors may be offset by aggravating ones, especially in a very serious concurrence of offences. The cantonal reasoning adequately considered the relevant factors.
