The magistrate's 8 month sentences were not excessive; the correct approach uses an 18 month starting point reduced by one-third for the guilty plea and then considers other mitigation; unsubstantiated mitigation does not warrant further reduction, and the court accordingly dismissed the appeal but increased each sentence by one month to 9 months concurrent.
