Given binding and persuasive appellate authorities establishing a 12-month post-plea baseline for possession of another's identity card and that possession implies illicit purpose, the judge correctly applied that benchmark; the appellant's collateral explanation and personal mitigation did not rebut the established sentencing principle and were insufficient to justify a non-custodial or reduced sentence, so the 12-month imprisonment was appropriate and is upheld.
