Heading: papasavvas's comparison group

Text: In precedent-seeking review we use the same comparison group that was used in the salient-factors test. State v. Feaster, 165 N.J. 388, 407, 757 A. 2d 266 (2000); accord Chew II, supra, 159 N.J. at 214, 731 A. 2d 1070. The Court examines cases that are factually similar to the defendant's case to determine [w]hether defendant's sentence is disproportionate in comparison with the culpability levels of the comparison group. Loftin II, supra, 157 N.J. at 339, 724 A. 2d 129.
