State v. Voshell

Supreme Court of Iowa

Decided March 27, 1974No. 56594PublishedCited by 3 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

LeGRAND, Justice.

Defendant entered a plea of guilty to an information charging him with the crime of burglary with aggravation in violation of section 708.2, The Code, 1973. No issue is raised here concerning the voluntariness of that plea. Defendant assails only the severity of the punishment meted out to him. That is the sole matter before us for review. We affirm the judgment.

Defendant insists the trial court acted solely on the recommendation of the county attorney in fixing the penalty without exercising its own independent judgment and discretion. The record refutes this argument.
