Analysis of the seized drug shows that the bulk of the seizure had a THC-value of between 18% and 32%, while the average value of the hashish seized in Norway according KRIPOS is approximately 10%. The potential for harm to the vast number of addicts have purchased drugs introduced by the accused has thus been significant, according to the court.
Defender show that Jensen is released
According to the court’s decision says Cappelens defender, Benedict the vibe that Capps should be released, partly because medsiktede Eirik Jensen is released.
– Recurrence Risk and evasion was not applicable as imprisonment basis. But they used a special provision of custody that permit the detention of the offensive to the general public that he be released. It is our opinion that it is not, they say Vibe.
– It is very rare to use the provision, and we do not think the public would have reacted differently if Cappelen is there than that Jensen is out.
