JAKARTA - A judge at the South Jakarta District Court sentenced Tio Pakusadewo to one year in prison for a case of marijuana drug abuse.
"Sentenced the defendant Tio Pakusadewo to a one year sentence," said the presiding judge, Florensani, reading the verdict at the South Jakarta District Court, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, January 19.
The panel of judges stated that Tio Pakusadewi was legally and convincingly proven to have committed the crime of narcotics abuse in class one type of marijuana, as stated in the indictment of the Public Prosecutor (JPU).
The judge also determined that the detention time and detention period Tio Pakusadewo had served were deducted from the sentence imposed.
In his decision, the judge considered the defense of the defendant's attorney who requested that Tio Pakusadewo undergo rehabilitation at the Drug Addiction Hospital (RSKO) Cibubur, East Jakarta.
However, the judge was unable to grant the defendant's defense because the evidence at trial was more than five grams as stipulated in the Supreme Court Circular Letter Number 4 of 2010.
In the facts of the trial, Tio Pakusadewo's evidence of the cannabis type after being weighed in the laboratory weighed more than 11.32 grams.
"The thing that is incriminating is that the defendant has been convicted before in connection with drug abuse cases, and the defendant's actions do not support the government's efforts to fight against drugs," said Judge Florensina.
Meanwhile, the mitigating matter was that the defendant acted politely in court, acknowledged and regretted his actions, kept evidence to be used for himself.
The decision of the panel of judges at the South Jakarta District Court was one year lighter than the prosecutor's demands, which demanded Tio Pakusadewo for two years in prison.
The verdict hearing was followed by virtual Tio from the Ditnarkoba Polda Metro Jaya detention center. Present in the prosecutor's courtroom as well as the legal team, as well as the family and Tio's third daughter.
