- Court of Appeal
Extension of time granted because counsel error would make strict application of Zhang unjust; Zhang's revised approach to starting points and mitigation applied to appellant resulting in adjustment of starting point to eight years and after discounts substitution of sentence to five years seven months; imposed minimum period of four years set aside because Zhang disavows presumptions that such minimums almost always apply in low-level cases.
