Key legal question
Whether the refusal to grant a suspended sentence was arbitrary or based on an incomplete prognostic assessment.
Extracted holding
The refusal of suspension was upheld because the cantonal court could rely on the appellant's repeated offending, prior conditional sentence, and continued reoffending despite prior proceedings.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the lower court considered the appellant's claimed rehabilitation but found it too late and insufficient to outweigh the negative prognostic factors.
