Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the 2007 Criminal Code provisions on conditional or partially suspended sentences apply instead of the old law.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The new law applies; it is not excluded merely because the court later considers a suspended or partly suspended sentence inappropriate in the individual case.
Extrahierte Begründung
For prison terms over 18 months up to 3 years, the new law is milder because only under that law a conditional or partially suspended execution is legally available and must be examined. The possibility that the prognosis is ultimately unfavorable does not make the new law inapplicable.
