Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court violated equal treatment in sentencing by setting only an eight-month difference between co-accused with different prior records and additional offences.
Solution extraite
No. The cantonal court took account of the lesser fault of the appellant, and the resulting eight-month gap fell within its wide discretion in sentencing under Art. 63 CP.
Motifs extraits
The main basis for a lower sentence was the co-accused's additional offences, especially one remaining abuse-of-distress count. The co-accused's bad record and the appellant's poor conduct in the investigation offset each other to some extent; the recidivism argument did not alter this assessment.
