Abstract

The promulgation of a legal rule is expected to provide definite limits on actions that are permitted and not permitted according to the law. These limits then become a benchmark for the correctness of a person's behavior. Various countries still consider distributing narcotics to be a prohibited act. Nevertheless, these criminal acts continue to occur, even in Indonesia. Legal issues arose when narcotics trafficking in Indonesia continued, but the judge issued a decision that was lighter than the prosecutor's demands. This article aims to understand the judge's authority in deciding criminal cases. Analysis was carried out using doctrinal methods. The statutory and conceptual approach shows that judges have freedom in deciding the cases they handle. The judge's independence allows the judge to hand down a lighter decision than the prosecutor's demands.
