Court Discretion In Charge Reduction

The district court has wide latitude and discretion when imposing a sentence. Although the court must consider all legally relevant factors, if the sentence imposed is not clearly excessive then it will not be overturned on appeal. Even after reviewing all the evidence and testimony presented, the court may find that there is no basis for a reductionin sentence pursuant to section 76-3-402.
