Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellate court misapplied sentencing law by giving insufficient weight to the defendant's confession.
Decisão extraída
No. The confession was late and only partial, so the appellate court could treat it as only a minor mitigating factor.
Fundamentação extraída
A confession that comes only at trial and lacks detail on quantities and accomplices is less mitigating than a prompt, detailed confession that materially assists the investigation.
