State v. Constantine

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Decided March 15, 1991PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

COLLINS, Justice.

Kirt K. Constantine appeals his sentence in the Superior Court (Kennebec County, Brody, C.J.) following his plea of guilty to vehicular manslaughter (Class B) in violation of 17-A M.R.S.A. § 203 (Supp.1989). The court imposed the maximum sentence, imprisonment for a term of ten years. 1 Constantine argues that the court failed to weigh properly the statutory sentencing factors in 17-A M.R.S.A. § 1151 (1983 & Supp.1990), and that the sentence is unfairly disparate from sentences imposed on others convicted of the same crime. We disagree, and affirm the sentence.
