Legislator summary

AI generated

The Court of Appeal rejected the defendant's request for a suspended sentence following a conviction for gross drunk driving. Although the defendant argued that his recent widowhood and single parenthood created a pressing life situation, the court found these hardships inadequate to justify deviating from the standard prison term. Consequently, the court upheld the original one-month prison sentence, ruling that the personal circumstances did not warrant a suspended sentence.

4 a § trafikbrottslagen; A suspended sentence may not be granted for gross drunk driving unless the defendant's personal circumstances constitute sufficient grounds to deviate from the normal penalty, which was not found in this case given the defendant's recent widowhood and single parenthood.

Full text

Gärning: H.L. har den 7 maj 1995 i Stockholm kört personbil efter att ha förtärt alkoholhaltiga drycker i sådan mängd att alkoholkoncentrationen i hans utandningsluft efter färden uppgått till 0,57 milligram per liter.

Personliga förhållanden: Enligt yttrande från frivårdsmyndigheten finns det inget som tyder på att H.L. har alkoholproblem eller att han har behov av övervakning. H.L. har uppgett att han, sedan hans hustru nyligen avlidit, såsom ensam vårdnadshavare om två barn, har en pressad situation.

Yrkande i hovrätten: villkorlig dom.

Rubricering: grovt rattfylleri (4 a § trafikbrottslagen).

Påföljd: fängelse en månad.

Skäl: Vad som framkommit i hovrätten angående H.L:s personliga förhållanden utvisar, såsom även tingsrätten konstaterat, att han har en pressad livssituation. Hans svårigheter är dock inte sådana att de utgör tillräckliga skäl för att frångå normalpåföljden för grovt rattfylleri. H.L. kan därför inte undgå att dömas till fängelse. Hovrätten ansluter sig till tingsrättens straffmätning.
