An aggregate sentence of 7½ years' imprisonment for two counts of stealing a motor vehicle with the aggravating circumstance of reckless driving, imposed on a 21-year-old offender with an extensive criminal history, was not manifestly excessive notwithstanding the offender's youth, guilty pleas, and severe antisocial personality disorder. Psychiatric and psychological reports obtained after sentencing that provide more detail about an offender's condition but do not establish mental illness or reduced moral culpability will not, without more, warrant appellate intervention. The dissent illustrates the competing view that the crushing effect of a long sentence on a young offender with psychological difficulties may warrant reduction even where individual sentences are within range.
