Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant was entitled to a full suspended sentence under Art. 42 CP despite prior convictions.
Solution extraite
No. Because of a relevant prior conviction within the statutory period, only particularly favorable circumstances could justify suspension; the cantonal court did not abuse its discretion in finding the prognosis uncertain and granting only partial suspension.
Motifs extraits
The court held that prior convictions for violent offences weakened the prognosis. The appellant's later improvement was noted, but serious doubts remained. In cases of uncertainty, partial suspension may be granted instead of full suspension.
