  • 2020 Ohio 5359

Syllabus

Appellant's conviction for aggravated robbery was not based on insufficient evidence nor was it against the manifest weight of the evidence. Overwhelming evidence indicated that appellant threatened to stab a victim with a deadly weapon while fleeing from an attempted robbery. Further, the Reagan Tokes Act does not violate the separation-of-powers doctrine and does not violate due process. As a result, the indefinite sentence the trial court imposed under the Act was not clearly and convincingly contrary to law, because the sentence was imposed under a constitutional law. Judgment affirmed.
