The Henry guideline judgment did not itself adopt any particular figure for the discount for a late plea of guilty; the assumption that it involved a 10% or 15% discount is an inference from the later guideline judgment in Thomson. A sentencing judge's tentative reference to a particular discount figure in Henry does not constitute material error where the judge did not purport to quantify the discount with precision. The inter-relationship between an offender's non-compliance with mental health medication, illicit drug use, and offending can properly support emphasis on specific deterrence and community protection.
