STATE of Louisiana v. Dickie P. BERNARD
561 WRIT DENIED: There is no error in the trial court’s ruling. The failure of the trial court to comply with the sentencing guidelines of art. 894.1 does not require that the sentence be set aside if the record otherwise clearly illumines the trial court’s sentencing choice and demonstrates the sentence is not arbitrary or excessive. State v. Jett, 419 So.2d 844 (La.1982); State v. Harris, 520 So.2d 911 (La.App. 3 Cir.1987); State v. Cox, 474 So.2d 523 (La.App. 3rd Cir.1985).
