The Court upheld the judge's application of a 12‑year starting point for trafficking 261.86g of heroin and the reduction of one‑third for the guilty plea to 8 years; the appellant's advanced age, poverty, indebtedness and claim of being used by others did not constitute sufficient mitigation to reduce the sentence further, and the application for leave to appeal against sentence was dismissed.
