Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the renewed cantonal sentencing after remand violated the prohibition of reformatio in peius.
Decisione estratta
No violation occurred because the new sentence was lower than the first-instance sentence and therefore did not place the appellant in a worse position.
Motivazione estratta
A reformatio in peius requires a heavier sentence by the appellate court than by the lower court. Here, the first instance imposed 16 months' unconditional imprisonment, while the renewed appellate decision imposed 14 months.
