Court partially allowed combined sentence reduction by mixing absorption and cumulation principles due to recidivism.

The court partially allowed the defendant's request to reduce the combined prison sentence by applying a mixed principle of partial absorption and partial cumulation. While the defendant argued for full absorption of prior sentences, the court noted his history of intentional crimes and failure to reform despite multiple prior convictions. Consequently, the court reduced the total sentence to three and a half years, balancing the reduction with the need for a firm reaction to his disregard for the law.
