Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court relied on a manifestly deficient psychiatric expert report when finding no criminal responsibility
Decisione estratta
Yes. The expert report lacked a concrete, case-specific explanation of the severity of the disorder, its impact on insight and self-control, and its departure from the earlier report.
Motivazione estratta
The report relied on general statements and did not sufficiently assess the defendant's condition, the effects of lithium treatment, or the reasons for disagreeing with the 1989 expert opinion. The cantonal court therefore acted arbitrarily by relying on it without further scrutiny.
