Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice denied the appeal against a conviction for manufacturing falsified food products. The defendant, who was 21 at the time of the offense, argued that his youth was irrelevant and that the crime was occasional. The court rejected both arguments, noting that his two prior convictions for the same crime type proved the offense was habitual rather than occasional.

SUMÁRIO

I - Tendo o arguido 21 anos de idade no momento da prática do crime não tem relevância para a fixação da medida da pena a sua pouca idade.

II - Não pode considerar-se ocasional a prática de crime de fabrico de género alimentício falsificado por arguido que já sofreu duas condenações anteriores pelo mesmo tipo de crime.
