The Court held the sentencing judge did not err as the s 104 factors were identified, the starting point MPI was supported by appropriate comparator cases, the judge's reliance on those comparators without formulaically reciting the three‑step approach was permissible, and the resulting sentence of life with an MPI of 17 years 9 months was within range and not manifestly excessive.
