There was a sufficient nexus between the appellant's traumatic upbringing, subsequent methamphetamine addiction and most of the dishonesty offending to justify mitigation; appellant was entitled to credit of approximately three months (about 15%), requiring reduction of the receiving charge sentence from 18 months 14 days to 15 months 14 days.
