Question juridique clé
Whether the appellate court misapplied sentencing law by failing to reduce the prison term sufficiently in light of confession and remorse.
Solution extraite
The sentence remained within the trial court's discretion; the appellate reasoning was not unlawful in the result, and the 24-month prison term stood.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 63 StGB, the court has broad discretion; it need not name an 'entry sentence' or express weighting numerically. The defendant had committed a serious qualified narcotics offence for financial gain, and his confession and limited remorse justified only a limited reduction.
