AI generated

The court upheld the sentence by ruling it could not deviate from the expert medical opinion based on its own factual evaluation. The defendant argued for a different assessment, but the court maintained that judicial discretion is limited when expert opinions are clear. Consequently, the court decided that its own independent factual analysis cannot override established expert findings in this context.
