California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Rogers, B232633 (Cal. App. 2012):
Further, the trial court's comments indicate that it properly considered the nature and circumstances of appellant's current and prior convictions and the particulars of his background, character and prospects, and reached an impartial decision. (People v. Williams (1998) 17 Cal.4th 148, 161-164.) Thus, the trial court did not abuse its discretion.
The judgment is affirmed.
