The court found the defendant guilty of possessing 0.205 grams of methedron and sentenced him to three months of restricted freedom with mandatory community service. The prosecution argued for a penalty based on the prohibition of psychotropic substances, while the defense likely contested the severity given the small amount. The court ruled that despite prior convictions, the minor quantity and confession warranted a non-custodial alternative to imprisonment, rejecting a fine as inappropriate for a recidivist.
