Sentencing – impartiality — discretion

David Salsbury appeals from a judgment of conviction for five felonies related to the sexual abuse of four children and from an order denying his motion for resentencing. He argues that he is entitled to resentencing because: (1) the trial court was not impartial at sentencing; and (2) the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion at sentencing by placing “undue weight on one factor and failing to adequately explain the necessity” of the lengthy prison sentence it imposed. We reject Salsbury’s arguments and affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
