Key legal question
Whether the three-year custodial sentence for the heroin offense was unlawfully severe under Art. 63 CP
Extracted holding
The sentence remained within the broad statutory range and was justified by the quantity of drugs, the defendant's concrete role in the transaction, and the trial court's overall assessment of culpability.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court found no omission of relevant factors, no consideration of improper factors, and no abuse of discretion. The motivation of the cantonal judgment was sufficient, and comparisons with other cases did not show unequal treatment because the cases were materially different and quantity alone is not decisive.
