Heading: is the sentence imposed by the trial court excessive in light of the facts?

Text: Henry argues that the sentence of six (6) years was excessive in light of these facts: Henry was twenty-one (21) years old at the time of the sentence; he was married and had two (2) children; he had no prior criminal record; he cooperated with the authorities; and his crime was not one of violence. We note, however, that the sentence imposed was within the maximum penalty provided by statute for this offense, seven (7) years. Miss. Code Ann. § 97-17-33 (1972). A sentence will be upheld if it is within the statutory limits. Adams v. State, 410 So.2d 1332 (Miss. 1982). Henry also argues that the sentence imposed was more harsh than the sentence of three (3) years which the State had agreed to recommend in exchange for Henry's guilty plea, which the trial court ultimately refused to accept, stating that Henry had a defense to the charge. We have searched the record in vain for any hint of such a plea agreement. The appellant is responsible for presenting to the reviewing court a record sufficient to undergird his assignments of error. Winters v. State, 473 So.2d 452 (Miss. 1985). This assignment of error is without merit. Finding no reversible error, we affirm the conviction and sentence. AFFIRMED. ROY NOBLE LEE and HAWKINS, P.JJ., and PRATHER, ROBERTSON, SULLIVAN, ANDERSON and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur. DAN M. LEE, J., concurs in result only.
