Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the appeal regarding the defendant's criminal responsibility. The defendant, convicted of serious assault, argued he lacked mental capacity at the time of the crime due to a mental disorder. The court found that the defendant's prior convictions and the nature of the alleged disorder demonstrated a lack of understanding required for criminal liability.
