The Court upheld the burglary conviction as reasonably inferred from circumstantial evidence; held that cultural or language difference and Mainland origin do not automatically justify a specific additional discount and that the trial judge erred in granting a 2-month additional reduction on that ground; the Court set aside the 2-month reductions and confirmed the sentences as adjusted to reflect totality.
