Drug Peddler, User Gets life imprisonment
Reclusion Perpetua or life imprisonment was the verdict of Judge Rafael Cresencio Tan Jr. towards Roy Saycon who infringed Republic Act 9165 or the Dangerous Drug Act of 2002 yesterday.
Saycon was proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt for the two cases filed against him, possession and peddling of illegal drugs.
Because of selling shabu, aside from life imprisonment, Saycon was also ordered to give a fine of Php500, 000.
For possession of illegal drugs, he was given a verdict of 12-14 years of imprisonment and a fine of Php 300, 000.
Last July 3, 2005, Sayson was arrested by the National Bureau of Investigation for selling two sachets of shabu to an agent who went undercover as buyer.
The confiscated packs of shabu totaled to 10 grams and while the convict was brought into the NBI station for interrogation, the authorities caught him getting something from his pocket.
Upon the NBI’s examination, another four sachets of shabu were found from his pocket weighing .27 grams.
According to Judge Tan of RTC Branch 30, the prosecution successfully proved that Sayson was guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
