The judge erred in applying the totality principle and in failing to give some credit for the applicant's confessions; the appropriate approach was to differentiate starting points for counts involving a gasoline threat (counts 3 and 4) from counts without such a threat (counts 1 and 2), substitute reduced individual sentences for counts 3 and 4 under s.83I Cap.221, and order a tailored concurrency/consecutive pattern to achieve a fair total sentence (appeal allowed in part).
