Sentencing – modification — new factors
Anthony Edward Thornton appeals from a judgment of conviction entered upon his guilty pleas to one count of armed robbery and one count of attempted armed robbery. He also appeals from an order denying postconviction relief. Thornton claims that repeal of the statutes formerly permitting inmates to earn positive adjustment time that potentially reduced their terms of initial confinement is a new factor warranting modification of his sentences. We disagree and affirm.
