2d Dist.

Affirmed.
Justice: 
JORGENSEN

Defendant, age 21 at time of offense, entered open guilty plea to armed robbery, and was sentenced to 18 years. His 2 codefendants entered fully negotiated pleas to armed robbery in exchange for 14-year sentences. Because their pleas were fully negotiated, court did not have benefit of PSIs, and thus did not have a fully understanding of the facts of their case. Thus, court could not meaningfully compare their sentences to Defendant’s sentence.  (ZENOFF and BRENNAN, concurring.)
