Court of Appeal allowed the appeal in part: the sentencing judge was entitled to treat use of false documents and other factors as aggravating but the statutory maximum (14 years) was an unduly harsh starting point; appropriate starting point for count 1 was 12 years, yielding an adjusted sentence of 8 years after plea credit; counts 2 and 3 sentences unchanged and structured to produce a total effective sentence of 9 years 4 months.
