The district court sentenced Maceda to a unified term of fifteen years, with a minimum period of confinement of thirteen years, for voluntary manslaughter and consecutive indeterminate terms of five years for the two counts of aggravated assault. Maceda appeals.
See North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (1970).
Sentencing is a matter for the trial court’s discretion. Both our standard of review and the factors to be considered in evaluating the reasonableness of the sentence are well established and need not be repeated here. See State v. Hernandez, 121 Idaho 114, 117-18, 822 P.2d 1011, 1014- (Ct. App. 1991); State v. Lopez, 106 Idaho 447, 449-51, 680 P.2d 869, 871-73 (Ct. App. 1984); State v. Toohill, 103 Idaho 565, 568, 650 P.2d 707, 710 (Ct. App. 1982). When reviewing the length of a sentence, we consider the defendant’s entire sentence. State v. Oliver, 144 Idaho 722, 726, 170 P.3d 387, 391 (2007). Applying these standards, and having reviewed the record in this case, we cannot say that the district court abused its discretion.
Therefore, Maceda’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
