Question Presented (from Petition)

A. Whether first offender Rosario's 23-year prison sentence, that resulted from a 104.4% upward variance, is unreasonable because it was grounded on the fact that the victim was kind to Rosario.

B. Whether first offender Rosario's 23-year prison sentence, that resulted from a 104.4% upward variance, is unreasonable as the DC gave significant weight to facts that were not supported by the record, or that were erroneous, or speculative: that the crime resulted in death.

C. Whether first offender Rosario's 23-year prison sentence, that resulted from a 104.4% upward variance, is unreasonable because it almost reaches the 25-year maximum statutory sentence, which is the sentence that he would have received if he had murdered the victim, when he did not commit murder.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a first-time offender's 23-year prison sentence, resulting from a 104.4% upward variance, is unreasonable due to sentencing factors and judicial discretion
