Ohio Ct. App.

Read the full case

Background

  • Rammel appeals re-sentencing in two cases after the prior void sentencing due to HB 86 application.
  • This court previously reversed and remanded for re-sentencing to apply HB 86; Rammel I and II addressed the void sentence issue.
  • Appellate counsel filed an Anders brief in both cases; Rammel did not file a pro se brief.
  • In 2010 CR 3732, the court imposed 36 months for burglary (HB 86) and 12 months for receiving stolen property, consecutive to the other case.
  • In 2011 CR 435, the court imposed multiple concurrent sentences (nine counts of receiving stolen property, burglary counts, and a breaking-and-entering count) with aggregating to a seven-year term when combined with the other case.
  • The court found HB 86-compliant findings, included post-release control, restitution, and costs, and concluded the re-sentencing complied with the law.

Issues

Issue Plaintiff's Argument Defendant's Argument Held
HB 86 compliance at re-sentencing Rammel contends HB 86 was not properly applied. State contends re-sentencing complied with HB 86. HB 86 applied within statutory ranges; no error.
Consecutive-sentence findings under RC 2929.14(C)(4) Rammel argues findings were insufficient or improper. State asserts proper findings were made for consecutive sentences. Findings satisfied statutory requirements; consecutive sentences valid.
Post-release control, restitution, and costs Rammel challenges inclusion of PRC, restitution, and costs. State contends these impositions were proper. Post-release control, restitution, and costs properly imposed.
