The trial judge had started from too high a sentencing level; the Court reduced the individual robbery sentences for the first and second applicants (from 8 to 7 years on specific counts) and reduced the third applicant's robbery sentences (from 9 to 8 years) while upholding the application of discounts for guilty pleas, considering age and clear records, and preserving the totality principle; prior convictions justified lesser mitigation for the third applicant.
