Whether the first-instance prison sentence was excessively severe under Art. 47 CP
The first-instance court gave excessive weight to the drug quantity and insufficient weight to the appellant's secondary role; the sentence had to be reduced.
The court held that the appellant acted mainly as an intermediary or transporter, not as an independent dealer. In sentencing under Art. 47 CP, the role in the offense matters; quantity alone cannot dominate. Given the secondary role, 3.5 years was too severe.
