Court held that the original aggregate sentence was excessive; reduced sentence for each burglary to 2 years' imprisonment, ordered those burglary sentences to run consecutively, and ordered the sentence for giving false information to run concurrently with the burglary sentences; applied standard sentencing principles including deterrence, assessment of the offender's record, and the totality principle while rejecting preventive detention as a justification for increased punishment.
