• 2022 Ohio 1879

Syllabus

The trial court did not err in imposing a 36-month prison term for appellant's third-degree felony conviction. The trial court examined the record and concluded that a 36-month sentence was consistent with the purposes of felony sentencing and was appropriate in light of the statutory seriousness and recidivism factors. Ohio law precludes us from independently weighing the evidence and substituting our judgment for the trial court's regarding a sentence that best reflects compliance with R.C. 2929.11 and R.C. 2929.12. Judgment affirmed.
