Thuy confessed that she bought the drugs from a man of unknown origin and address at the end of May 2022 for 10 million VND. After bringing them home to hide, Thuy sold them to drug addicts for 250,000 to 300,000 VND per pill.
At the trial, the defendant confessed honestly, admitting to selling drugs for profit. The female defendant stated that she had little education, limited legal awareness, and was young, asking the court to consider reducing her sentence.
The panel of judges determined that the defendant’s actions violated the law. Because of greed and laziness, the defendant illegally bought and sold drugs even though he knew that his actions violated the law.
However, it is also necessary to consider some mitigating circumstances for the defendant such as honest confession, repentance, and family contributions to the revolution.
Considering the case as a whole, the court sentenced Ho Thi Thuy to 15 years in prison for illegal drug trafficking.
