Background

  • Defendant Dallas Bradshaw admitted violating community-control conditions; trial court revoked supervision and sentenced him to 30 months in prison.
  • The sentencing entry credited Bradshaw with 55 days "time served" plus additional "future custody days" while awaiting transport; the trial court later indicated he had 91 days total credit.
  • Bradshaw was represented by counsel at sentencing and did not file a direct appeal from the sentencing entry.
  • Instead, he filed a post-sentencing motion seeking additional jail-time credit (including 168 days for GPS-monitored home confinement); the trial court denied the motion.
  • On appeal, Bradshaw argued the court miscalculated credit and improperly refused credit for GPS home confinement time; he did not invoke the amended R.C. 2929.119(B)(2)(g)(iii) provision before the trial court or on appeal.
  • The appellate court affirmed, holding Bradshaw’s claims were barred by res judicata because he could have raised them on direct appeal and they involve substantive legal determinations, not clerical error.
