Questão jurídica principal
Whether an appeal limited to sentencing can exclude revocation of a prior suspended sentence.
Decisão extraída
No. Sentencing and revocation of a suspended sentence are closely connected and cannot be separated for appellate review.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the effect of the whole sanction package must be assessed together. The prognosis for conditional sentencing necessarily includes the impact of revoking an earlier suspended sentence, and vice versa. Therefore the revocation decision could not become final independently.
