    CACC491/2011

    The court upheld the individual sentences (two extortion counts of 4 years each concurrent; one triad-membership count of 1 year) but found the aggregate 5-year sentence manifestly excessive; applying the totality principle the court ordered 3 months of one extortion sentence to run consecutively to the others, reducing the total effective sentence to 4 years 3 months while leaving individual terms otherwise unchanged.
