The Institution of Effective Repentance<\/p>\n
The most common reason for a reduced sentence in drug trafficking crimes is the institution of effective repentance. This institution, regulated in Article 192 of the TCK, foresees a reduced sentence for certain actions taken by the defendant before or after the official authorities are informed of the crime.<\/p>\n
Effective repentance before the official authorities are informed of the crime: If the defendant spontaneously reports the crime after committing it and makes a significant contribution to the discovery of the crime, the sentence may not be given.
\nEffective remorse after the official authorities are informed that the crime has been committed: If the defendant confesses his\/her crime after the crime is discovered and helps to solve the crime, his\/her sentence can be reduced from 1\/4 to 1\/2.<\/p>\n
Other Reasons for Sentence Reduction<\/p>\n
Apart from effective remorse, other situations that may lead to a sentence reduction in drug trafficking crimes are as follows:<\/p>\n
Reflection of the detention period in the verdict: The defendant’s detention period is deducted from the sentence to be given.<\/p>\n
The convict’s good behavior: The convict’s behavior in prison may lead to a shortening of his\/her sentence.
\nParticipation in social rehabilitation programs: The convict’s participation in social rehabilitation programs may lead to a reduction of his\/her sentence by being evaluated by the penal enforcement board.<\/p>\n
Who Makes the Sentence Reduction Decision?<\/p>\n
The sentence reduction decision is made by the court. The court makes its decision by evaluating all the evidence in the defendant’s file and special circumstances such as effective remorse.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
