Supreme Court upheld mandatory prison term over conditional sentence due to community service already performed by defendant.

Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland ordered a mandatory prison term instead of a conditional sentence after the defendant had already completed community service. The prosecution argued that the prior service should not offset the need for a custodial sentence given the severity of the rape. The court ruled that the material facts required a stricter penalty, rendering the conditional sentence inappropriate despite the defendant's prior service.

Generato dall'IASection 27 of the Prison Act; Section 28 of the Prison Act: When a defendant has already served community service, the court must still assess whether a conditional sentence is appropriate; if the gravity of the crime warrants immediate custody, the prior service does not automatically justify a suspended sentence.
