The trial judge erred by applying a full one-third discount despite the appellant's prolonged absence and late guilty pleas; applying established precedents the appropriate discounts are 25% for Charges 1–6 and one-third for Charge 7, and when totality is properly applied certain sentences must run concurrently and only specified portions consecutively, yielding a substituted aggregate sentence of 45 months' imprisonment.
