• 2023 Ohio 574

Syllabus

Although preferred on appellate review, a trial court need not explicitly state in its judgment entry that it considered a defendant's ability to pay a financial sanction. All that is required is that the trial court consider his ability to pay. A sentencing court may consider a broad range of otherwise inadmissible evidence, including charges that were reduced or dismissed under a plea agreement.
