Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the sentencing reasoning for the increased prison term complied with federal law
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The appellate court weighed the relevant sentencing factors in an unbalanced way and did not sufficiently explain how it arrived at the two-year sentence.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court emphasized drug quantity, purity, and danger too heavily, while failing to adequately assess mitigating factors such as the defendant's motive, low remuneration, addiction context, confession, remorse, and personal circumstances. The reasoning did not permit review of the exercise of discretion.
