Syllabus

Third-degree felony R.C. 2953.08(G)(2) R.C. 2929.11 R.C. 2929.12 30-month prison term. - Defendant's sentence of 30 months in prison was not contrary to law because it was within the statutory range for third-degree felonies and the trial court properly considered the purposes and principles of sentencing under R.C. 2929.11 and the seriousness and recidivism factors in R.C. 2929.12 when it imposed the sentence. Appellate court could not consider defendant's argument that the record did not support the trial court's findings under R.C. 2929.11 and 2929.12 because nothing in R.C. 2953.08(G)(2) permits an appellate court to independently weigh the evidence and substitute its judgment for that of the trial court regarding R.C. 2929.11 and 2929.12.
