Transcript of the Audio Recording
of the Sentence in the above Case
---------------------------------
COURT: In respect of D2, you are convicted after trial of two offences of trafficking. The first is exactly the same charge as that faced by D1, to which he has pleaded guilty, that is, trafficking in 9.2 grammes of “Ice” and 1.11 grammes of ketamine. The 2nd offence is one that involves 8.39 grammes of “Ice”.
To arrive at the total period of imprisonment I do take the combined approach.
Again, there is little or no mitigation here. I accept that you did agree to a substantial part of the prosecution case. But nonetheless, you did pursue your plea of not guilty.
Therefore, on the 1st charge you will go to prison for 7 years; on the 2nd charge 6½ years, that is, 6 years and 6 months. In order to apply the combined approach, 1 year will be consecutive and 5½ years will be concurrent.
That is a total of 8 years’ imprisonment.
