Syllabus

Trial court did not violate a defendant's due process and equal protection rights in imposing a six-year prison term on the defendant where the record reflects that the defendant's inability to repay $2.2 million to victims in the two-year time period between the guilty plea being entered and sentence being imposed was not a sentencing consideration by the trial court. Further, the defendant failed to establish that an actual conflict of interest existed by defense counsel's joint representation of the defendant and another co-defendant who were both involved in the sale of an unregistered security and the fraudulent act or practice in the sale of securities.
