Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the drug offense sentence should be reduced on appeal
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appropriate sentence was 18 months' imprisonment, not 20 months.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court assessed the offense as a lightly serious qualified drug offense, but aggravating factors from recidivism and negative personal conduct increased the sentence from a 16-month starting point to 18 months.
