Transcript of the Audio Recording
of the Sentence in the above Case
---------------------------------
COURT: The accused, I have taken into account everything urged on your behalf.
On Count 1, which is of simple possession of 0.73 gramme of a crystalline solid containing 0.73 gramme of methamphetamine hydrochloride, commonly known as “Ice”, I adopt a starting point of 1 year’s imprisonment.
On Count 2, which is of unlawful trafficking of 6.6 kilograms of a crystalline solid containing 6.3 kilograms of methamphetamine hydrochloride, I adopt a starting point of 27 years’ imprisonment.
The only real mitigation available to you consists of your pleas of guilty.
Giving you a one-third discount for those pleas on each count, I pass on you sentences of 8 months’ imprisonment on Count 1 and 18 years’ imprisonment on Count 2.
I order that those terms be served concurrently.
So your total sentence is 18 years’ imprisonment.
