• 2021 Ohio 2217

Syllabus

In response to appellant's statements attempting to deflect responsibility for the conduct to which he pleaded guilty, the State made a statement at the sentencing hearing to rebut appellant's statements. The State's comments, though not directly related to the criminal conduct at issue, concerned related conduct relevant to appellant's attempted deflection. Given the wide array of information a trial court may consider when making a sentencing decision, the trial court did not err by allowing the State to make the contested statement. Judgment affirmed.
