Syllabus

SEX OFFENSES – MEGAN'S LAW – FORMER R.C. 2950.09(B) – STIPULATION – GUILTY PLEA: Trial court did not err in journalizing sexual predator classification under Megan's Law even after defendant's release from prison where defendant stipulated, as part of his negotiated plea agreement, to sexual predator classification and the original sentencing court independently found defendant to be a sexual predator but failed to journalize its finding in the original judgment entry. Permitting a defendant to withdraw but one part of the negotiated plea agreement would run afoul of the precise nature of the package deal the parties agreed to in order to resolve both cases. Judgment affirmed.
