The Court allowed the appeal and held that the applicant's significant cooperation (testimony and agreement to assist further) justified increasing the post‑plea discount to 50% from the 25‑year starting point, resulting in substitution of a 12‑year sentence for the 15‑year sentence; the 25‑year starting point was appropriate but the degree of discount originally applied was insufficient.
