The magistrate failed to articulate and quantify how he adjusted the 15‑month baseline for the competing aggravating factor of prior entry and the mitigating factor of prompt voluntary surrender; prompt surrender requires a substantial discount and, applying relevant authorities, the offender's 12‑month sentence should be reduced to 9 months.
