Although the individual terms imposed by the trial judge were appropriate and not to be interfered with standing alone, the aggregate sentence of 24 years was excessive because the trial judge failed adequately to consider sentences imposed on co-offenders in the same series; appellate court may quash and substitute individual terms to achieve a just overall sentence and reduced the effective total to 20 years by substituting 8, 4 and 4 year terms for Counts 5, 7 and 8 respectively.
