AMMAN The Court of Cassation has upheld a September State Security Court (SSC) ruling, sentencing a drug dealer to 10 years in prison after convicting him of possessing illegal narcotics in Mafraq in January of last year.
The court declared the defendant guilty of possessing a stash of illegal narcotics while driving his vehicle on the Mafraq Highway and handed him a 15-year prison term.
However, the SSC decided to reduce the sentence to 10 years in prison to “give the defendant a second chance in life”.
