Background

  • Negotiated guilty plea to multiple sex offense counts; sexual-imposition, rape, and related charges; five-year post-release-control mandate added after sentencing; appellant later challenged the sentence and moved to withdraw his plea; court remanded post-Fischer guidance on post-release-control issues; trial court denied motions and appellant appealed the denial.

Issues

Issue Plaintiff's Argument Defendant's Argument Held
Whether the post-release-control portion of the sentence was properly corrected on remand Aleshire argues Fischer voided the post-release-control portion Aleshire contends other sentence parts were invalidated Only post-release-control portion is void and remediable
Whether the re-sentencing complied with RC 2929.19(A) and allowed victim input State argues proper hearing and victim input occurred Aleshire claims insufficient opportunity to be heard Hearing complied; appellant had opportunity to address court
Whether the post-sentence withdrawal of a guilty plea requires an evidentiary hearing State contends hearing not required if no manifest injustice Aleshire seeks withdrawal based on grounds raised previously Trial court did not abuse discretion; no oral hearing required
Whether the court erred in declining to consider newly discovered evidence and mootness of classifications State maintains remand preserved issues; classifications moot Aleshire argues due process failures Issues resolved consistent with Fisher and mootness rulings
Whether failure to advise right to appeal at re-sentencing caused prejudice State argues no prejudice given awareness of appeal rights Aleshire suffered prejudice from lack of advisement No prejudice; collateral relief denied
