The defendant, M.K.M., had been convicted of multiple intentional crimes involving assault and bodily harm, resulting in individual sentences ranging from one year to three years. The court applied a mixed principle, partially absorbing the lesser terms while cumulating the most severe penalties, citing the defendant's high recidivism and the significant social harm caused by his actions.
