Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellate court sufficiently considered the time elapsed since the offences when sentencing under Art. 64 StGB.
Decisão extraída
The court held that the long time lapse was taken into account in mitigation and that this assessment remained within the court's sentencing discretion.
Fundamentação extraída
The court found that the appellate court expressly mentioned the relatively long period since the offences and reduced the sentence accordingly; under the applicable standard, such mitigation was sufficient and did not violate federal law.
