    Holding that denial of motions for continuance was not an abuse of discretion

    The discretion to determine the appropriate sentence is vested in the judiciary. See, State v. Lee, 237 Neb. 724, 467 N.W.2d 661 (1991); State v. Evans, 194 Neb. 559, 234 N.W.2d 199 (1975). In the exercise of that discretion, it is proper for a trial court to grant sentence concessions to defendants who plead guilty when the interest of the public in the effective administration of criminal justice would be served.
