Court applies more lenient cumulative sentencing law to defendant's 2016 and 2019 crimes. Verdict: partially_allowed
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court combined three prior convictions into a single sentence, applying the cumulative sentencing rules valid before June 24, 2020. Although the defendant committed crimes after the law changed, the court determined the pre-change rules were more lenient for the offender. Consequently, the court applied the older, more favorable statutory provisions to calculate the final term of imprisonment.
