Read the full judgment text of DCCC 1019/2009 on BabelCite. This District Court judgment.
1. The defendant is 17 and had been working as a cook for some 3 years, which means that he had been working since he was 14. It was put forward in mitigation that D3 is of relatively young age and that he only played a very minor role in the incident. D3 did not handle the money, there is no evidence that he distributed the drug. It was submitted that D3 is a “silly young boy” rather than a trafficker and that the sentencing tariff of 4-6 years should not be adhered to.
