Read the full case

Background

  • Michael Jackson was convicted by a jury of rape and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor; sentenced to four years on each count to run concurrently.
  • On direct appeal this court vacated the "furthermore" finding and concluded the two offenses were allied; remanded for resentencing (State v. Jackson, "Jackson I").
  • The Ohio Supreme Court accepted review and remanded for reconsideration under State v. Johnson; on further review this court again found the offenses allied and ordered resentencing ("Jackson II").
  • Jackson completed his original four-year sentence and was released before the trial court held the ordered resentencing hearing.
  • At the September 16, 2013 resentencing, the trial court reimposed the four-year term and added five years of postrelease control; Jackson appealed the postrelease-control imposition.

Issues

Issue Plaintiff's Argument Defendant's Argument Held
Whether trial court could impose postrelease control at resentencing after defendant had already completed his sentence State: resentencing could correct earlier sentencing errors, including postrelease control Jackson: court lost authority to impose postrelease control after sentence was fully served Court: once sentence carrying postrelease control has been served, resentencing cannot impose or correct postrelease control; trial court erred and must vacate postrelease control

Key Cases Cited

  • State v. Bloomer, 909 N.E.2d 1254 (Ohio 2009) (once sentence served, court lacks authority to impose postrelease control at resentencing)
  • State v. Johnson, 942 N.E.2d 1061 (Ohio 2010) (framework for analyzing allied offenses of similar import)
