Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court violated federal law in sentencing by overstating the aggravating effect of multiple acts and understating diminished responsibility and attempt.
Decisão extraída
The sentence was not sufficiently reasoned and the weighting of the multiple acts and diminished responsibility was incompatible with federal law.
Fundamentação extraída
Where the offender acted under severe psychosis bordering on full incapacity, the sentence must lie at the low end of the permissible range; the number of individual attacks had a partly random character within one uninterrupted episode and could not outweigh the substantial mitigation required by diminished responsibility and attempt.
