Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the 18-month prison sentence should be suspended or partially suspended under Art. 42 StGB despite a prior suspended prison sentence within the relevant period.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appellate court had to reassess whether the prior suspended sentence, if now executed because of revocation, could positively affect the prognosis and justify a conditional sentence for the new term.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 42 Abs. 2 StGB requires especially favorable circumstances when there is a recent prior custodial sentence. The lower court failed to assess the possible warning effect of the former sentence once it would be executed, and it gave insufficiently convincing reasons for treating the defendant's employment and financial situation as negative.
