Description

WALTERS, C.J. This is a sentence review. The appellant, Richard Pederson, age 22, pled guilty to first degree murder for the killing of
his six-week-old son. I.C. §§ 18-4001; 18-4003(d) (homicide committed while perpetrating aggravated battery
on child under twelve years of age). The district court imposed a life sentence in the custody of the Board of Correction,
I.C. § 18-4004, and ordered that the entire sentence be served as a minimum term of confinement, i.e., that Pederson
serve all of the life sentence in confinement without parole or discharge. I.C. § 19-2513. On appeal, Pederson contends
that the district court abused its discretion by requiring the entire sentence to be served in confinement without the possibility
of parole. He also argues that his sentence constitutes cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment
to the United States Constitution. We hold that the court did not abuse its sentencing discretion and that the sentence did
not violate Pederson's right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment.
