Penal - Rol O-442-2019

This document summarizes a legal case involving the consumption and possession of illicit drugs. The accused, Carol Macarena Gajardo Valdivia, was apprehended for consuming pasta base and found with 106 wrappers containing 2.43 grams of the substance. Initially charged with drug trafficking of small quantities, the tribunal reclassified the offense to a minor infraction under Article 50 of Law 20.000. The imposed penalty includes mandatory attendance at a rehabilitation program for up to 180 days. The court's decision was based on evidence suggesting personal consumption and the low quantity of drugs found, despite the defense's argument for reclassification and the prosecution's initial stance on trafficking. The case also mentions the accused's personal background, including her education and occupation, and notes prior criminal records.
