(Court opinion corrected 8/22/19.) Defendant pled guilty to unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and was sentenced to 30 months probation; court later revoked probation and resentenced her to 5 years. Sentence was ot excessive; court explicitly considered many mitigating factors, and considered her rehabilitative potential. Defendant's conduct while on probation, continuously noncompliant with terms of probation, was a proper factor for consideration, as it related to her rehabilitative potential. Defendant violated terms of her original sentence and may not now claim that she received unfair resentencing hearing or that she did not receive benefit of her bargain. (TURNER and CAVANAGH, concurring.)
