Syllabus

Judicial release eligible offender mandatory contract plea agreement agreed upon sentence sentencing negotiated modification contrary to law. Where the mandatory nature of the agreed-upon sentence is an express condition of the plea agreement, it becomes a binding contractual term that renders the offender ineligible for judicial release under R.C. 2929.20(A). The trial court erred by granting judicial release to an ineligible offender.
