JULIAN DARIUS KARAPETKOV V. COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA
— STAFF
We hold that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in denying a continuance, because any prejudice from the proceeding was speculative. We further hold that Karapetkov’s sentence, imposed within the statutory range, is not subject to the appellate review that he seeks.
Va. Ct. App. · affirmed
Whether a sentence within the statutory range but far above the discretionary guidelines is subject to appellate proportionality review.
