Nature of Offences for Death Penalty

Drug Crime

Case Background (300 words max): Christian (47 years old) is an Indonesian citizen who was sentenced to death by the West Jakarta District Court for his involvement in the smuggling of psychotropics in the form of ecstasy through wheat flour import activities. The ecstasy was sent from Hong Kong under the guise of wheat flour to be sold in Indonesia. After arriving in Indonesia, the goods were taken to a warehouse in the Cengkareng area of West Java, but were eventually uncovered, and Christian was arrested by the police.

During the legal process that Christian underwent with the police, he admitted that he was subjected to torture and threats by the officers. The police told Christian to confess that he was Christian AWE or Christopher (someone else). Later, the police presented a suspect's letter to Christian for him to sign, but he refused. As a result of this refusal, Christian was threatened with being beaten again.

Unfortunately, in Christian's case, when the first-instance court sentenced him to death, he filed an appeal, but his lawyer at the time did not include the Appeal Memorandum, causing Christian to lose the opportunity to fully defend himself. The Jakarta High Court ultimately upheld the death sentence. Christian then pursued cassation efforts, but his lawyer did not submit the Cassation Memorandum to Christian for him to read before it was submitted to the Supreme Court. In the end, the cassation memorandum was rejected by the Supreme Court.

Defence Arguments (200 words max.): Christian's legal counsel, in his defense, stated that the form of the indictment/demand by the prosecutor was not legally proven to violate Article 59 paragraph (1) letter d jo paragraph (2) of Law Number 5 of 1997 concerning Psychotropics jo Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code. The defense then requested that the defendant be acquitted of all charges and demands by the prosecutor, that the savings in Christian's name be returned to the defendant, and that the defendant's good name and dignity be rehabilitated.

Judgement with Headnotes (200 words max): Christian claimed that he was unaware of the existence of psychotropics in the wheat flour container that was shipped. However, the panel of judges considered that Christian's actions indicated an intention to participate in the smuggling of ecstasy through wheat flour imports by managing the customs inspection of a container worth 100 million, allowing customs officers to pass the suspicious Hi Co Scan results. The panel of judges also regarded Christian's actions as organized crime. The factors that aggravated Christian's punishment include the fact that his actions were contrary to the government's policy in the eradication of psychotropics, they damaged mental health and killed the generation, and he was involved in an international syndicate of psychotropic trafficking.
