Court combined sentences for recidivist, rejecting full absorption due to repeated thefts and lack of rehabilitation.

The court combined multiple prison sentences for the defendant, W.K., who committed repeated thefts while on probation. The prosecution argued that the defendant's behavior demonstrated a contemptuous attitude toward legal norms, necessitating a combined penalty rather than full absorption of terms. The court agreed, finding that the defendant's failure to reform despite warnings justified the harsher combined sentence to achieve educational goals.
