He is someone within the system who knows how the system works and has been bold to tackle the issue by getting into very uncomfortable territory that many of his peers prefer to avoid. The judge never considered the issue of poverty. “It will all depend on the justice’s discretion to determine if there is remorse on the part of the perpetrator and there is hope to correct the mistake. It is all based on the subjective authority of the judge. “After all, to this day Pa’cik is a poor prisoner who has never received visits from his family or embassy. So if this is not in the judgment, then the probation period becomes void.” Pa’cik was advised by his handler to bring his wife so that he would avoid any suspicions of being a drug courier. For example, Article 100 of the Criminal Code authorizes judges to impose the death penalty with a probationary period of 10 years, but there are several caveats. The new Criminal Code offers hope for a more progressive model of sentencing that could ultimately drastically reduce the circumstances for which the death penalty is administrated. We will get to the abolition step by step. It is also about finding a balance on how to carry out just sentences and punish those acting as drug mules, mostly disadvantaged people, many of whom are women. While nobody wants the region flooded with drugs, more and more citizens are starting questioning if capital punishment is the most effective deterrent.
