Text: The defendant next claims that the sentence was manifestly unreasonable in light of the aggravating and mitigating evidence. This Court has the constitutional authority to review and revise sentences, see IND. CONST. Art. VII, § 4, and may do so when the sentence is manifestly unreasonable in light of the nature of the offense and the character of the offender, Ind. Appellate Rule 17(B). This Court's review under Rule 17(B) is highly deferential to the trial court: `[T]he issue is not whether in our judgment the sentence is unreasonable, but whether it is clearly, plainly, and obviously so.' Echols v. State, 722 N.E.2d 805, 809 (Ind. 2000) (quoting Bunch v. State, 697 N.E.2d 1255, 1258 (Ind.1998) (quoting Prowell v. State, 687 N.E.2d 563, 568 (Ind.1997))). We decline to find the sentence manifestly unreasonable in light of this offender and these offenses.
