Syllabus

Criminal law—Aggravated murder—Appeals—R.C. 2953.08(D)(3)—The portion of the judgment of the court of appeals relating to the constitutionality of R.C. 2953.08(D)(3) is affirmed—Because R.C. 2953.08(D)(3) does not preclude an appellate court from reviewing a constitutional challenge to an aggravated-murder sentence on appeal, the court of appeals erred by declining to review the merits of appellant's constitutional challenges to his aggravated-murder sentence—Court of appeals' judgment affirmed in part and reversed in part and cause remanded to the court of appeals.
