Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellate court could worsen the legal qualification despite the prohibition of reformatio in peius.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The prohibition of reformatio in peius limits only the punishment, not the legal qualification; the appellate court may therefore enter a stricter qualification.
Extrahierte Begründung
A heavier qualification does not itself worsen the appellant's position in the sense of the procedural prohibition, provided the sentence is not increased merely for that reason.
