Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellate court violated the right to be heard by deciding again without informing the defendant and hearing him on updated personal circumstances.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. After the federal reversal, the defendant had to be informed that the case would be decided anew so he could comment on his current personal circumstances relevant to conditional release.
Extrahierte Begründung
The renewed decision reopened both guilt and sentencing issues; the prognosis for conditional sentence had to be based on personal circumstances up to the decision date. A therapy begun after the earlier hearing could affect the prognosis, and the defendant was not given a meaningful opportunity to present it.
