Appellate court quashed the original cumulative 18-month sentence and re-sentenced to concurrent terms of 9 months because newly advanced, credible evidence established the appellant's mild mental deficiency, exploitation by others and lack of financial benefit, which materially mitigated culpability; the court affirmed that the original sentence would have been appropriate on the earlier material but that the fresh material justified reduction.
