Where a defendant provides a useful statement but does not give truthful and material evidence at another's trial, the established customary discount is about 40% (including the guilty plea reduction); absent evidence of real safety risk, speculative concerns do not justify altering the discount or sentence, and the sentencing judge did not err in exercising discretion to afford slightly more than a 40% discount.
