The Court upheld the sentencing judge's assessment that, despite the applicant's youth and influence by older gang members, the applicant played an active, violent role over an extended period such that duress and youth did not reduce culpability sufficiently to render 35 years manifestly excessive; disparities with co-offenders were justified by differences in guilty pleas and cooperation; the fixed terms of 35 years per count are to run concurrently.
