The Court held the judge's stated starting point of 14 years was manifestly excessive given the appellant's lesser culpability relative to the principal perpetrators and her youth and dominant influence factors; the appropriate starting point is 12 years and, applying the 50% discount the judge allowed for the appellant's substantial assistance to the prosecution, substituted a final sentence of 6 years' imprisonment, quashing the original 7-year sentence.
