Key legal question
Whether the three-year prison sentence violated Art. 63 CP due to excessive severity or failure to consider relevant factors.
Extracted holding
No. The cantonal court considered the relevant aggravating and mitigating factors, and the sentence did not amount to an abuse of discretion.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that quantity of drugs was only one factor. The cantonal court had examined culpability, motives, role in the trafficking chain, recidivism, concurrent offenses, remorse, prison conduct, and favorable character evidence. The sentence was severe but still within the wide discretion allowed by Art. 63 CP.
