Cassation court dismisses appeal against appellate court's denial of generic mitigating circumstances in criminal sentencing.

The Court of Cassation declared the appeal filed by Keqi Shkelqim inadmissible, upholding the Second Instance Court's refusal to grant generic mitigating circumstances. The appellant argued for leniency, but the appellate court correctly noted the defendant's recent reoffending and lack of lifestyle change. The court ruled that such discretionary sentencing factors require positive evidence and must be explicitly justified to ensure the penalty fits the crime and the offender's personality.
