Description
1 John Lee Bracey, III, appeals from a judgment of conviction for burglary, and from a post-conviction order denying his motion for modification of his consecutive reconfinement and burglary sentences. The issue is whether the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion by unfairly emphasizing certain factors over other more mitigating circumstances, and for imposing a "needlessly harsh" consecutive sentence. We conclude that the trial court properly exercised its sentencing discretion when it explained why it imposed a nine-year burglary sentence to run consecutive to the reconfinement period it also imposed. The fact that the trial court could have exercised its discretion differently, specifically by imposing a lesser sentence, or by imposing that sentence concurrently does not constitute an erroneous exercise of discretion. Therefore, we affirm.
