GIVAN, Justice,

¶1dissenting.

¶2I respectfully dissent from the majority opinion in that this Court has seen fit to reduce the sentence rendered by the trial court. The sentence in every respect complies with the pertinent statutes and the evidence in this case. Thus, pursuant to the rules of this Court, see Ind. Appellate Rule 17, the sentence should not be disturbed. In so doing we are second-guessing the trial court who conscientiously applied the statutes to the facts in this case. We leave the trial courts without any standard whereby they can anticipate our reaction to the sentences they render.

¶3I would affirm the trial court in all respects.

¶4KRAHULIK, J., concurs.
