DICKSON, Justice,

¶1concurring and dissenting.

¶2I concur with the majority’s analysis except for its final conclusion. The majority agrees with the trial'court’s finding that the heinousness of the crime constitutes a valid aggravating circumstance, but concludes that this is approximately balanced by a single mitigating circumstance — the defendant’s lack of a significant prior criminal record. I believe that the aggravating circumstance outweighs the mitigating circumstance and that the imposition of concurrent presumptive sentences is an insufficient punishment for these offenses and this offender.
