Syllabus

SENTENCING — R.C. 2929.13(B) — COMPLICITY —AIDING OR ABETTING — THEFT: Defendant's 12-month prison sentence for a nonviolent fifth-degree felony is not contrary to law because defendant violated the terms of her bond when she failed to appear at a pretrial hearing and that violation triggered the trial court's discretionary authority under R.C. 2929.13(B)(1)(b)(iii) to sentence defendant to a prison term. Defendant's conviction for aiding or abetting a retail theft was supported by sufficient evidence and not contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence where the record shows that defendant drove the principal actors to the retail store, brought merchandise to the principal actors in the store, and reconvened with the principal actors following the theft.
