Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Michael D. Huppert, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Bower, C.J., Ahlers, J., and Carr, S.J.  Opinion by Carr, S.J.  (7 pages)

            Quntonio Herron Jr. appeals the sentence entered following his guilty plea to two counts of homicide by vehicle by reckless driving, one count of serious injury by vehicle by reckless driving, and one count of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death.  He contends the trial court must have considered the content of emotion-laden victim impact statements delivered in the course of the sentencing hearing.  OPINION HOLDS: Because the district court properly relied on the appropriate factors in sentencing Herron and there is no evidence of it abusing its discretion by considering impermissible factors, we affirm the sentence.
