• 2022 Ohio 3842

Syllabus

Following a jury trial, appellant was found guilty of felonious assault and was sentenced to an indefinite prison term of 8-12 years. At the sentencing hearing, the State informed the trial court of other criminal acts appellant purportedly had committed against the victim. The source of this information cannot be discerned from the record. Based on this record, we cannot conclude that the allegations of other acts against the victim, though perhaps problematic, influenced the trial court's decision, or that the sentence was otherwise contrary to law. Judgment affirmed. (Welbaum, J., concurring.)
