Defendant now appeals as of right.
To the extent that defendant's argument is predicated on the sentencing guidelines, it is without merit. The instructions also expressly provide that the guidelines do not cover all criminal offenses, and that an offense not listed in the designated criminal offense list is not covered. Accordingly, there are no guidelines controlling with respect to either offense and it was unnecessary for the trial court to have prepared an SIR with respect to the larceny conviction. Among other things, the evidence at trial here suggested that defendant had concurred, or at the very least acquiesced, in the judgment of his accomplice that the victim should be killed because she had seen the accomplice's face. The trial court properly, in our judgment, considered evidence that a victim had been killed during the course of a serious felony in her home by defendant and a co-defendant.
