Affirmed.
Justice: 
TURNER
Defendant pled guilty to four counts of possession and delivery of controlled substance and cannabis. Court sentenced Defendant to concurrent prison terms of 12 years, 5 years, and 3 years, and denied Defendant's motion to reconsider sentence. While proceeds of crime of unlawful delivery of controlled substance are not an aggravating factor, they can be proper considerations at sentencing when proceeds relate to extent and nature of a defendant's involvement in a criminal enterprise, motivation, or need for deterrence. (STEIGMANN and POPE, concurring.)
