The magistrate's findings that the appellant's interview was freely and voluntarily made and that the prosecution witnesses were credible were open to the court on the record and thus the convictions were upheld; however the magistrate erred in assessing the weight of antecedents and the appropriate starting point for sentence on the trafficking charge, so the sentence for trafficking was reduced to 24 months while the two-year sentence for keeping a divan was affirmed but ordered with 6 months to run consecutively to reflect totality, producing an overall effective sentence of 30 months.
