Opinion text
JONES, J., Concurs with Reasons. I agree with the majority opinion, but write further to emphasize that the district court is free to consider the most recent pronouncements of the legislature, which returned to the district court discretion in sentencing. Further, the district court has broad discretion in sentencing, provided the record supports the exercise of that discretion.
