Questão jurídica principal
Whether the defendant was entitled to a partial suspended sentence under Art. 43 CP
Decisão extraída
No. Given the defendant's extensive prior convictions and repeated reoffending, the courts could conclude that even partial execution would not improve the prospects of amendment; the case fell outside Art. 43 CP.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 43 CP uses the same subjective prognosis requirement as Art. 42 CP. Where the prognosis is concretely unfavorable, neither full nor partial suspension is available. The defendant's long series of ineffective prior sanctions supported a defensible finding that an execution of part of the sentence would not have a warning effect sufficient to prevent new offences.
