Questione giuridica chiave
Whether a psychiatric expert opinion had to be ordered because of doubts about the defendant's criminal responsibility
Decisione estratta
No serious reason existed to doubt full criminal responsibility, so no expert opinion was required.
Motivazione estratta
The alleged bipolar disorder was raised late and only by a general practitioner without psychiatric qualification. The defendant's conduct before, during, and after the offences showed planned, reality-based behaviour and did not indicate a serious impairment of insight or self-control.
