Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard by deciding after remand without giving the accused a chance to comment on the new sentencing situation.
Decisione estratta
Yes. After the remand changed the legal assessment and required a new sentence, the accused had to be allowed to comment on any intervening personal circumstances relevant to sentencing.
Motivazione estratta
A remand that leaves the lower court discretion on sentencing does not exhaust the hearing right. Because sentence must be fixed at the time of judgment, the accused must be able to address changed circumstances before the new decision.
