Syllabus

FELONY SENTENCING R.C. 2953.08(G)(2) R.C. 2929.11 R.C. 2929.12. Defendant-appellant's sentence is not contrary to law because the sentence is within the permissible statutory range and the trial court properly considered R.C. 2929.11 and 2929.12. The trial court did not err in rejecting the parties' joint-sentencing recommendation of community control and imposing a 15-month prison term for fourth-degree felony strangulation. The trial court forewarned defendant-appellant of the maximum penalty and that it was not bound to follow the parties' joint-sentencing recommendation.
