JUDGMENTS — COMMUNITY CONTROL — RES JUDICATA — APPELLATE REVIEW/CRIMINAL — SENTENCING — R.C. 2953.08(D)(1) — CONSECUTIVE SENTENCES: Defendant's new sentence for violating community control was not invalid because his original sentence, which had imposed community control consecutive to a prison term, had not been void, but merely voidable, and defendant had not challenged it on direct appeal. The court lacked jurisdiction under R.C. 2953.08(D)(1) to review defendant's sentence imposed following the revocation of community control, where the defendant and prosecutor had jointly recommended a fixed, ten-year prison term for any violation of community control as part of defendant's original plea, and the sentence imposed for violating community control was entirely consistent with that recommendation and within the range of sentences permitted by law.
