This is the second provision of the Šiauliai remand center due to the commutation of S.Rarovskis’s sentence to life imprisonment. The Regional Court rejected the submission by ruling of September 17, 2019, according to a press release from the Šiauliai Regional Court.
The crimes that caused great public awareness were committed in 1995 in Vilnius. Then in April, during a conflict between them, S. Rarovskis deliberately killed a man, and at the end of August his victim became another man. SSRarovsky was also convicted of other crimes committed in the same year: attempted murder, use of a firearm, robbery, etc. The Vilnius Regional Court convicted SSRarovskis in 1998.
At the Šiauliai Regional Court presentation to the Šiauliai Regional Detention Center in late November 2020 regarding commutation of sentence, the prisoner was sentenced to life imprisonment for being a communicative but narrow-minded person.
The document states that the prisoner reacts calmly to the change in circumstances, is discreet and courteous with the representatives of the administration, does not conflict with other prisoners, acknowledges the existence of the prison subculture, but affirms that he does not follow it. Supervisors and officers are viewed positively.
During the execution of the sentence, S.Rarovskis was sanctioned 7 times for various disciplinary infractions (use of words and jargon without censorship, misappropriation of other people’s property, possession of pornographic material, violence, breach of established procedure). October 28 for attempting to misappropriate food from another prisoner, he was reprimanded for doing so.
He was promoted 10 times for good behavior and participation in the platoon’s social activities.
The presentation notes that S.Rarovskis self-critically evaluates his criminal behavior, sincerely regrets, perceives the punishment imposed on him as an opportunity to correct himself and learn to respect the values and norms of socially acceptable life. The condemned man repeatedly appealed to the President of the Republic of Lithuania to forgive him, but all were rejected.
The communication also indicates that the convicted person committed various crimes in custody in order to obtain material gain. Currently he has no savings, but has enough money to cover daily expenses, he is able to distribute the funds received. He does not have a stable source of income, he receives financial support from friends and girlfriends.
During the court hearing, the representative of the Šiauliai Remand Center supported the presentation, the convicted person and his defense lawyer requested to satisfy the presentation and replace the life sentence with a prison sentence, the prosecutor requested not to comply with the presentation.
After examining the disposition of the Šiauliai remand center for commutation, the court determined that the criminogenic factors (lack of job skills and inability to work, lack of a stable source of income, surrender to the negative influence of others in a less structured environment) were still identified.
It should be noted that in cases where criminogenic risk factors are identified that negatively characterize the offender’s behavior, the specific actions of the offender and efforts to minimize the impact of these criminogenic factors on possible recidivism are of special importance.
After examining the submission, the panel of the Criminal Cases Division of the Šiauliai Regional Court noted that S.Rarovskis was included in the register of convicts who wanted to escape and attack.
The fact that S.Rarovskis was promoted for the last time only in 2017. The sentence of December 29, 2006, that is, three years ago, shows that only short-term manifestations of exemplary behavior are detected in the convicted person’s behavior and extremely rare, so there is no reason to consider that the convict behaves flawlessly. The court noted that S.Rarovskis only partially implements the measures provided for in the individual social rehabilitation plan, his motivation to participate in the programs is formal.
Thus, the circumstances expressed about the conduct of the convicted person during the execution of the sentence do not allow to unequivocally conclude that the personality of the convicted person has lost its dangerousness. In the opinion of the panel of judges, the desire of the convicted person to be released cannot take precedence over the public interest of being protected from the crime and the interest of the victims, so that the perpetrator of cruel crimes responds appropriately and is isolated from society at large. lifetime.
The court did not satisfy the Šiauliai remand center. This court decision can be appealed to the Lithuanian Court of Appeal.
