Description

Raymond Thomas Pettit killed his wife. Upon a plea of guilty to second degree murder, he was sentenced to an indeterminate term, not exceeding twenty years, in custody of the Board of Correction. He later moved, unsuccessfully, to reduce the sentence. The issue raised on appeal is whether the sentence, as imposed, was excessive. We hold that it was not. Our standard of appellate review is set forth in State v. Toohill, 103 Idaho 565, 650 P.2d 707 (Ct.App.1982). A sentence within the statutory maximum will not be deemed excessive unless the appellant shows that under any reasonable view of the facts the term of confinement is longer than appears necessary, at the time of sentencing, to accomplish the primary objective of protecting society and to achieve any or all of the related goals of deterrence, rehabilitation or retribution. For the purpose of appellate review, we deem the date of first parole eligibility to be the benchmark for measuring the term of confinement imposed by an indeterminate sentence.
