Questão jurídica principal
Whether the defendant was 'judged' after 1 January 2007 for lex mitior purposes on cantonal appeal
Decisão extraída
Yes. A Fribourg appeal is an ordinary appeal with suspensive effect and a new judgment on the merits, so the defendant was judged at that stage within the meaning of Article 2(2) CP.
Fundamentação extraída
Because the cantonal court did not act in a purely cassatory way but could issue a new judgment, the new law could be applied if more favorable.
