Key legal question
Whether partial suspension could be granted despite the defendant's prior record and conduct.
Extracted holding
No. The defendant's repeated offenses, poor efforts to stop drug use, and overall conduct justified a negative prognosis, excluding partial suspension.
Extracted reasoning
The court assessed prognosis globally, considering the gravity of the offenses, extensive antecedents, continued offending over many years, failed prior suspensions, and lack of treatment efforts. An 'warning effect' from serving part of the sentence was unlikely to work.
