Court found the guilty plea valid and voluntary and the accused fit to plead; after weighing mitigation (mental illness, cooperation, guilty plea, family support) against aggravating factors (multiple trafficking offences, varied and large quantities, public interest), the appropriate exercise of sentencing discretion was life imprisonment and 12 strokes for the trafficking counts and three years' imprisonment for the possession counts, all to run concurrently from date of arrest.
