State v. Young

¶1 Lorne Young appeals from a judgment convicting him of homicide by negligent handling of a dangerous weapon and from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief.1 Young claims he is entitled to have his sentence modified either because: (1) the circuit court treated an argument made by Young's counsel as a reflection on Young's character (i.e., the court considered an improper factor); or (2) the court was not presented with recent research regarding brain development into emerging adulthood (i.e., there is now a new factor for the court to consider). We reject both contentions.
