Sentencing
Discretion

Darrell E. Harrison faced 135 years’ imprisonment after being convicted of first-degree sexual assault of a child and possession of child pornography. The trial court sentenced him to less than a third of that. He seeks resentencing on grounds that the trial court failed to apply the “least punishment” principle and to explain why it did not order a lesser sentence than the one imposed. We affirm because we are well satisfied that the sentence was reasonable and the product of a demonstrated exercise of discretion.  This opinion will not be published.
