Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellate court had to decide the challenged band aggravation under Art. 19 ch. 2 let. b LStup although the case was already serious under let. a.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Once the offense is serious under Art. 19 ch. 2 let. a LStup, it is unnecessary to examine whether it is also serious under let. b, because removing the additional aggravation does not change the legal classification or sentencing range.
Extrahierte Begründung
The lower courts relied essentially on the serious-case basis under let. a when fixing the sentence; the disputed band aggravation had only marginal sentencing impact, so omitting it would not materially affect the penalty.
