• 2025 Ohio 5228

Syllabus

Community-control sanctions; residential sanctions; consecutive sentences; reimbursement of attorney fees; res judicata. The appellant challenged the two six-month terms of residential sanctions imposed as a condition of community control and the trial court's order running these terms consecutively to one another. Appellant also challenged the trial court's 2023 sentencing entry ordering him to reimburse attorney fees. It was in the trial court's discretion to order six-month jail sentences as a condition of community control. However, the trial court's decision to run those jail terms consecutively to one another is contrary to law. Finally, to the extent that appellant challenged the trial court's 2023 sentencing entry ordering him to repay assigned attorney fees, that argument is barred by res judicata.
