State v. Melton
Citations
- 2018 Ohio 4699
Syllabus
Former R.C. 2929.03(C)(2) life imprisonment parole eligibility indefinite sentence. The defendant's sentence under former R.C. 2929.03(C)(2) of \20 full years to life in prison\ was affirmed. Although the trial court did not follow the exact wording of former R.C. 2929.03(C)(2) (\life imprisonment with parole eligibility after serving [20] full years of imprisonment\), the trial court did not convert a \defacto definite sentence\ into an indefinite one because the defendant's sentence was already an indefinite sentence.
