BGE 70 IV 110 ΓÇó Diminished responsibility and placement in a work-education institution
BGE 70 IV 110Amtliche Sammlung des Bundesgerichts (BGE) / Band IV14.07.1944Dismissed
The Federal Court’s Cassation Division dismissed the prosecution’s nullity complaint. It held that a defendant’s diminished responsibility does not prevent placement in a work-education institution under Art. 43 StGB, provided the conditions for a medical measure under Arts. 14 or 15 StGB are not met. Since the expert and the cantonal courts found no need for institutional treatment or care, the lower court was entitled to apply Art. 43 StGB.
Art. 43 StGB; diminished responsibility and placement in a work-education institution; the measure is not excluded merely because the offender is only partially responsible. Where the prerequisites of Arts. 14 or 15 StGB are absent, the judge may apply Art. 43 StGB to a diminished-responsibility offender. The fact that one of the statutory conditions for placement—such as idleness or work-shyness connected with the offence—may itself be traceable to reduced responsibility does not preclude the measure. The distinction between medical treatment/care measures and work-education placement is decisive (consid. 1).
