Syllabus

Restitution plain error R.C. 2929.18(A)(1) Reagan Tokes Law constitutional due process separation-of-powers doctrine jury trial. The trial court did not commit plain error in awarding restitution to the victims. Defendant's substantial rights were not violated and a manifest injustice did not occur because evidence was presented at the sentencing hearing through the presentence investigation, victim-impact statement, request of the state, and statement of a victim in open court to support the restitution amount imposed by the trial court. Moreover, the Reagan Tokes Law does not violate the defendant's right to due process, the separation-of-powers doctrine, and his Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial.
