The District Court made material sentencing errors by treating a withdrawn charge as warranting separate uplift and by misallocating concurrent/cumulative terms; correcting those errors and applying sentencing principles (Samson bands, totality, guilty plea discount without double counting) produced a reduced global sentence appropriately served by home detention totaling nine months and one week, with driving disqualification and reparations maintained.
