Syllabus

The trial court's plea colloquy complied with the requirements of Crim.R. 11(C)(2) and the record demonstrated appellant understood the nature of the aggravated arson charge. The trial court considered the purposes and principles of sentencing as set forth in R.C. 2929.11 as well as the seriousness and recidivism factors listed in R.C. 2929.12 in imposing an indefinite prison term of 10 to 15 years. Appellant forfeited his constitutional challenge to the Reagan Tokes Law, specifically R.C. 2967.271, by not first raising the issue with the trial court. R.C. 2929.18(A) authorized the court to impose the cost of postrelease control supervision.
