The Court held that the judge did not err in awarding a 40% discount: the appropriate discount for assistance without testifying is fact-sensitive and normally 40%–45%; on these facts Chim's arrest and plea were not attributable to the applicant and the prosecution had a strong case without him, so 40% was within the permissible range; the judge's stray remark about 50% being reserved for 'super-grass' did not affect the outcome.
