Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily departed from the psychiatric expertise and violated in dubio pro reo regarding cocaine consumption and diminished responsibility
Solution extraite
No. The cantonal court could, without arbitrariness, prefer other evidence over the expert's assumptions and find only a slight diminution of responsibility; it did not shift the burden of proof.
Motifs extraits
The experts relied mainly on the defendant's own statements, which the court could assess critically in light of contrary indications such as lack of observed drug problems, his income, absence of withdrawal treatment, and continued social activity. In dubio pro reo was not breached because the court simply found the defendant's version unconvincing on the evidence.
