The judge found three s104 qualifying factors present—calculated/lengthy planning, unlawful entry into a dwelling and a high degree of brutality/callousness—concluded s104 applied and that imposing the mandatory minimum term of 17 years was not manifestly unjust; therefore imposed life imprisonment with a 17-year minimum and sentenced concurrent terms for multiple rapes, abduction and commission of crime with a firearm based on articulated starting points and reductions for guilty pleas and mitigation.
