State v. Glenn, 2014 Ohio 4084

Glenn was charged with aggravated burglary (first-degree felony) and burglary (second-degree felony) but pled guilty to attempted burglary (third-degree felony).
The trial court sentenced Glenn to 36 months in prison.
On appeal, Glenn argues the sentence is the maximum and violates RC 2929.11 and 2929.12 findings requirements.
The appellate standard of review follows RC 2953.08(G)(2), allowing modification or remand if the record lacks required findings or the sentence is contrary to law.
The court held the sentence is within the statutory range for a third-degree felony and presumptively valid.
The court found the trial court properly considered the purposes and factors of sentencing and that Glenn was not amenable to community control.
