Court combined sentences for recidivist property offender, rejecting full absorption due to repeated offenses.

The court combined multiple prison sentences for the defendant, M.B., who was convicted of repeated property crimes. The prosecution argued that the defendant's history of reoffending and refusal to accept alternative penalties justified a harsher combined sentence rather than lenient absorption. The court agreed, noting that the defendant's prior behavior demonstrated a lack of social reintegration, thereby warranting a cumulative penalty to ensure educational impact.
