Because defendants lacked strong evidence of actual knowledge, starting points were reduced to reflect recklessness per Cameron; further reductions were warranted for undue delay and prolonged bail; guilty plea discounts were applied (25%); additional mitigation reductions were justified by demonstrated remorse, rehabilitation and personal circumstances, resulting in home detention or community detention rather than full immediate imprisonment for each defendant.
