- High Court
The appeal is allowed in part to correct an arithmetical error: the sentencing Judge intended a six month rehabilitative discount which was not applied; correcting that error produced an end sentence before guilty plea reduction of three years six months, and after the 25% guilty plea discount a final sentence of two years seven months. The starting point for the robberies and the Judge's assessment declining additional discount for the appellant's letters were not manifestly excessive and did not warrant interference.
