Given wholesale supply of >10,000 pills but assessed culpability as recklessness, the judge set a starting point of 2 years 10 months, reduced six months for undue delay to 2 years 4 months, applied a 25% guilty plea discount to reach an end sentence of 1 year 5 months, but imposed a non-custodial outcome of six months community detention to preserve employment and promote rehabilitation while marking denunciation and deterrence.
