Questão jurídica principal
Whether diminished culpability must also reduce the increase under the asperation principle for multiple offences.
Decisão extraída
Yes. A diminished capacity finding must be taken into account not only in the base sentence but also in the aggravation for multiple offences; the aggravation was therefore set too high.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 19(2) and Art. 49(1) StGB, mitigating factors affect both the starting sentence and the subsequent increase. The lower court reduced only the base sentence, not the competitive aggravation, which contradicted the case law.
