Landsretten stadfæstede byrettens dom i tiltale for overtrædelse af straffelovens § 124, stk. 4

[DOKUMENT] Dom (2 sider) UDSKRIFT AF ØSTRE LANDSRETS DOMBOG ____________ DOM

Afsagt den 6. marts 2008 af Østre Landsrets 24. afdeling (landsdommerne Linde Jensen, Gunst Andersen og Lone Dahl Frandsen (kst.) med domsmænd).

24. afd. a.s. nr. S-503-08: Anklagemyndigheden mod Tiltalte (CPR nr. (Født 1983)) (advokat Peter Bang-Olsen, besk.)

Svendborg Rets dom af 21. januar 2008 (S.S. 1-1642/2007) er anket af Tiltalte med påstand om formildelse, navnlig således at der idømmes en bødestraf.

Anklagemyndigheden har påstået stadfæstelse.

Det fremgår af retsbogen for byretten, at tiltalte forklarede, at han havde mobiltelefonen, der var hans egen, i sin celle.

Tiltalte har supplerende forklaret, at mobiltelefonen blev fundet af fængselspersonalet. Han erkendte sig straks skyldig. Han afsoner fortsat en fængselsstraf i Nyborg Statsfæng-sel.

Landsrettens begrundelse og resultat

Der findes ikke oplyst sådanne særlige omstændigheder i sagen, at der er grundlag for at fravige det strafniveau, der er anført i forarbejderne til bestemmelsen i straffelovens § 124, stk. 4, jf. lov nr. 527 af 6. juni 2007 om ændring af straffeloven m.v., hvorfor straffen fin-des passende.

/

Landsretten stadfæster derfor dommen.

Thi kendes for ret:

Byrettens dom i sagen mod Tiltalte stadfæstes.

Tiltalte skal betale sagens omkostninger for landsretten.
