Key legal question
Whether the appellate court violated Art. 63 StGB in sentencing by misweighing mitigating and aggravating factors.
Extracted holding
No. The appellate court sufficiently considered the offense and offender factors and did not abuse its discretion.
Extracted reasoning
The court found the overall guilt not light, the defendant was recidivist and uncooperative, and the sentencing assessment was consistent with federal case law on Art. 63 StGB.
