P. v. Smith
Appellant contends on appeal that the trial court abused its discretion by imposing an aggravated eight-year prison term for arson of an inhabited structure. Alternatively, Defendant argues that if court found he waived his right to challenge the sentence on appeal, court must conclude he received ineffective assistance of counsel, requiring remand for re-sentencing.
Court affirms. Appellant’s counsel did preserve appellant’s objection to his sentence. However, the sentence imposed was within the court’s discretion.
