The appellate court found the magistrate's imprisonment terms excessive in light of mitigating factors (guilty pleas, frank cooperation, modest value of goods, comparable sentences for related import offences) and reduced the sentences on count one from six to four months and on count two from nine to six months, to run concurrently; the court affirmed that comity may be a sentencing consideration but cautioned against presenting executive statements as directives in court briefs.
