Family man in rocker drug ring: Appeals court reduces prison sentence
In a recent ruling, the appeal court reduced the prison sentence of a 30-year-old father who was connected to a rocker drug ring. The man had sold 17 kilograms of cocaine and 6 kilograms of cannabis within the large drug ring.
The court's decision resulted in a reduction in the original ten-year prison sentence. This development comes as a surprise to many, as the scale of illegal drug trafficking usually results in severe penalties.
The defendant's defense emphasized during the trial that the man became involved in the criminal act due to personal circumstances and social ties. This reasoning could possibly have contributed to the lighter sentence.
The prison sentence reduction sparked public debate about the effectiveness and fairness of the justice system. Some call for stricter measures against drug-related crime, while others show understanding for the personal background of the convicted person.
