Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court misapplied sentencing criteria under Art. 63 StGB by insufficiently mitigating the defendant's motive, psychological state, lack of remorse, intoxication, and personal circumstances.
Extracted holding
The cantonal court properly assessed the relevant offender and offense factors and did not abuse its discretion in fixing 30 months' imprisonment.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the violent home intrusion and attack were extremely serious and deliberately harmful, so the claimed motive did not mitigate. It accepted that the defendant's relationship problems, partial confession, personal difficulties, intoxication, and injuries were considered in mitigation, but found no sincere remorse, no diminished responsibility, and no unjustified provocation warranting further mitigation.
