Description
Defendant does not contend that his pleas of guilty were not voluntarily, understandingly and freely made. Indeed, he has at all times openly and candidly admitted his guilt. He does contend, however, that the trial court abused its discretion in sentencing him to two consecutive sentences of five years, or a total of ten years imprisonment. He argues that the court made no inquiry into such matters as age, character, education, environment, habit, mentality, propensity and the record of defendant. These are appropriate matters for a trial judge to consider in determining punishment. State v. Hullender, 8 N.C. App. 41, 173 S.E.2d 581. Defendant further argues that, rather than inquiring into any of the above factors, the court conducted its own investigative inquiry to determine the complicity of others and directed questions to the defendant which appear ""antagonistic, judgmental and prejudiced.""
