Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court could keep the original sentence unchanged after partially abandoning the fraud-by-habit charge.
Solution extraite
No. After a substantial part of the accusation was abandoned, the court had to give specific reasons why the sentence remained at the same level; its reasoning was insufficient.
Motifs extraits
A sentence must be fully motivated so that review of sentencing criteria is possible. If an important part of the accusation falls away on appeal, the authority may not simply maintain the same punishment without explaining why the remaining offences still justify it.
