Supreme Court allows reduction of sentence for attempted murder based on time spent in custody for unrelated theft.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court permitted the reduction of the defendant's sentence for attempted murder by accounting for time spent in custody for a separate, unrelated theft charge. Although the defendant was initially convicted of attempted murder after a gas detonator was found, he was later detained for suspected theft of similar devices before charges for that crime were dropped. The court ruled that this period of deprivation of liberty, occurring before the murder conviction, could legally be deducted from the final prison term.
Regesto Legislator
Generato dall'IARL 3 luku 11 §; The period of deprivation of liberty incurred prior to the conviction for a specific crime may be deducted from the sentence for that crime if the deprivation was a result of criminal proceedings, even if those proceedings were terminated before the conviction.

Poliisin kiinni ottaman henkilön hallusta oli löytynyt kaasusumutin, minkä johdosta hänet tuomittiin rangaistukseen ampuma-aserikoksesta. Kiinniotettu siirrettiin toiseen poliisipiiriin, jossa hänet vangittiin epäiltynä samanlaisia kaasusumuttimia käsittäneestä törkeästä varkaudesta. Hänet vapautettiin kuitenkin nostamatta tästä rikoksesta syytettä. Kysymys siitä, voitiinko vapaudenmenetysaika vähentää ampuma-aserikoksesta tuomitusta rangaistuksesta.
