  • finding superior court did not double count facts used to meet the elements of the offense to impose an aggravated sentence
  • finding no error in the trial court’s consideration of defendant’s lack of remorse to counter his claim he was “sorry for the [victim’s] injuries” and took responsibility after he told the presentence interviewer he was the victim because he was not guilty
  • fundamental error review applies to alleged sentencing 5 error based on grounds not urged in trial court
  • Blakely-exempt aggravating factors need be supported only by reasonable evidence in the record
  • fundamental Blakely error is prejudicial “if a reasonable jury, applying the appropriate standard of proof, under the actual standards of a jury trial, could have reached a different result than did the trial judge”
