CACC 328/2018 [2019] HKCA 457 香港特別行政區 高等法院上訴法庭 刑事司法管轄權 判刑上訴許可申請 刑事上訴案件2018年第328號 (原區域法院刑事案件2018年第201號) 答辯人 香港特別行政區 對 申請人 INTAN DWI NOPITASARI 主審法官: 高等法院署理首席法官楊振權 聆訊日期: 2019年4月11日 判案書日期: 2019年4月11日 判案書 申請人(Intan Dwi Nopitasari)經審訊後,被裁定一項“販毒”罪罪名成立及被判處入獄4年6個月。申請人不服判刑,現提出上訴許可申請,要求獲准就判刑上訴。 申請人指有關判刑過重,而她有一名年幼女兒要照顧,因此要求法庭削減她的刑期。 涉案毒品是6.25克晶狀固體,內含6.24克“冰毒”。 就販毒罪行,上訴法庭根據毒品的性質和分量定下明確的判刑指引。根據有關判例,販運10克以內“冰毒”,量刑基準是3-7年監禁。 以6.24克“冰毒”而言,原審法官採納的4年6個月刑期已屬寬鬆。原審法官採納較寬鬆的判刑的原因之一是申請人同意大部分控方案情,節省了審訊所需時間。原審法官亦有考慮申請人提出其他的減刑因素。 申請人被判的4年6個月監禁,絕非明顯過重。申請人要求減刑的上訴許可申請,沒有可爭拗之處,更沒有成功機會。 因此,本席駁回申請人要求減刑的上訴許可申請。 (楊振權) 高等法院署理首席法官 答辯人: 由律政司檢控官谷敏兒代表。 申請人: 沒有律師代表,親自應訊。
