Ronald L. Adams, appellant/defendant below (hereinafter referred to as “Mr. Adams”), appeals from an order of the Circuit Court of Putnam County sentencing him to 90 years imprisonment for the conviction of aggravated robbery. The single issue presented in this appeal is whether the sentence imposed by the circuit court was disproportionate to the crime on which it was based. Based upon the parties’ arguments on appeal, the record designated for appellate review, and the pertinent authorities, we affirm the decision of the Circuit Court of Putnam County.
