Syllabus

Plea agreement term forfeiture money drug trafficking waiver statutory excessive fine manifest weight evidence burden proof. Because defendant's forfeiture to the cash was ancillary to the plea agreement and not R.C. Chapter 2981, she had no basis to challenge the court's failure to adhere to the statutory provisions for forfeiture. The trial court's determination that the monies seized from defendant did not derive from a legitimate source was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The record reflects that the trial court performed an analysis that included a determination as to whether the forfeiture was grossly disproportionate.
