OPINION
{¶ 1} On Nоvember 15, 2005, the Stark County Grand Jury indicted appellant, Curtis Miller, on one count of burglary in violation of R.C.
{¶ 2} A jury trial commenced оn January 5, 2006. The jury found appellant guilty as charged. By judgment entry filed January 17, 2006, the trial court sentenced appellant to eight years in prison.
{¶ 3} Appellant appealed and this court affirmed appellant's conviction, but remanded his case for resentenсing in light of State v.Foster,
{¶ 4} A resentencing hearing was held on November 22, 2006. By judgment entry filed November 28, 2006, the trial court again sentenced appellant to eight years in prison.
{¶ 5} Appellant filed an appeal and this matter is now before this court for consideration. Assignments of error are as follows:
{¶ 9} R.C.
{¶ 10} "The court shall hold a sentencing hearing before imposing a sentence under this chapter upon an offender who was convicted of or pleadеd guilty to a felony and before resentencing an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a felony and whose сase was remanded pursuant to section
{¶ 11} Sentencing hearings are further controlled by Crim.R. 32. Subsection (A)(1) states the following:
{¶ 12} "(A) Imposition of sentence
{¶ 13} "Sentence shall be imposed without unnecessary delay. Pending sentence, the court may commit the defendant or continue or alter the bail. At thе time of imposing sentence, the court shall do all of the following:
{¶ 14} "(1) Afford counsel an opportunity to speak on behalf of the defendant and address the defendant personally and ask if he or she wishes to make a statement in his or her own behalf or present any information in mitigation of punishment."
{¶ 15} In State v. Campbell,
{¶ 16} "1. Pursuant to Crim.R. 32(A)(1), before imposing sentence, a trial court must address the defendant personally and ask whether he оr she wishes to make a statement in his or her own behalf or present any information in mitigation of punishment.
{¶ 17} "3. In a case in which the trial court has imposed sentence without first asking the defendant whether he or she wishes to exercise the right of allocution created by Crim.R. 32(A), rеsentencing is required unless the error is invited error or harmless error."
{¶ 18} The state argues failure to object during the sentencing hearing constitutes waiver. We disagree. The Campbell court specifically rejected this argument. Id. at 324-325. However, the Campbell court did consider the issue of *5 harmless error. Id. at 325-326. Harmless error is described as "[a]ny error, defect, irregularity, or variance which does not affect substantial rights shall be disregarded." Crim.R. 52(A). Overcoming harmless error requires a showing of undue prejudice or a violation of a substantial right.
{¶ 19} We note in reviewing Crim.R. 32 in the Campbell case, the Supreme Court of Ohio examined it in light of a death penalty case which, as noted by the Campbell court, is under the strictest scrutiny.
{¶ 20} In reviewing the very short record before this court, we find any error by the trial court in not spеcifically stating that appellant could offer something in mitigation to be harmless. Appellant was given the opportunity to spеak. The dialogue between the trial court and defense counsel and appellant was as follows:
{¶ 21} "THE COURT: Mr. Miller, how are you this morning?
{¶ 22} "THE DEFENDANT: All right so far.
{¶ 23} "THE COURT: Mr. Miller, the purpose оf the hearing this morning is to impose a sentence. Mr. Miller, you have been found guilty by a jury of 12 of one count of the crime of burglary, which is a Felony of the Second Degree. This can be penalized by a prison term of two to eight years in whole years. You are entitled tо a sentencing hearing and that's what we're going to do right now. At this point in time I'm going to ask your attorney if there is anything that he wishes to say on your bеhalf.
{¶ 24} "MR. REISCH: I have nothing.
{¶ 25} "THE COURT: Mr. Miller? *6
{¶ 26} "THE DEFENDANT: Well, before I got sentenced I heard four years.
I have heard of two years. I got eight years, so it is just interesting to see what happens on this resentencing.
{¶ 27} "THE COURT: State of Ohio?
{¶ 28} "MR. BURNWORTH: Nothing, Your Honor." November 22, 2006 T. at 3-4.
{¶ 29} The trial court had presided over the jury trial, and sentenced appellant to the very same sentence he had received on January 17, 2006. The trial court employed the same procedures during thе original sentencing hearing:
{¶ 30} "THE COURT: Mr. Miller, how are you?
{¶ 31} "THE DEFENDANT: Not well.
{¶ 32} "THE COURT: I can understand that. Mr. Miller, the purpose of the hearing this afternoon is to impose a sentence. You have been found guilty by a Jury of 12 of one count of burglary, violation of the Ohio Revised Code Section 2911.(A)(2). You are entitled to a sentеncing hearing pursuant to Criminal Rule 32, and that is what we are going to do this afternoon. * * * At this point in time I'm going to ask if either you or your client or you or your attorney have anything that you wish to say to me. Attorney Bible.
{¶ 33} "MS. BIBLE: Yes, Your Honor. Just briefly, Court obviously heard all the evidence yesterdаy. In sentencing Mr. Miller I would ask the Court to take into consideration that there was no harm, physical harm done to anyone. There was nothing of value taken. There was nothing taken, and in determining the range of the sentence also Mr. Miller already indicated to me that he wishes to appeal his conviction *7 and is still maintaining his innocence. And therefore, I will caution him of anything that he says on the record to this court I believe he's limited for what he can say to sentencing in order not to hurt any appeal chances.
{¶ 34} "THE COURT: And I will certаinly not hold that against him. I will certainly understand your advice to him and his wisdom in accepting, following your advice. Very well. Mr. Miller, anything that you want tо say to me?
{¶ 35} "THE DEFENDANT: No, sir.
{¶ 36} "THE COURT: Very well. State of Ohio, anything that you wish to bring to my attention?
{¶ 37} "MR. SCOTT: Yes, Your Honor. * * *" January 6, 2006 T. at 3- 5.
{¶ 38} We find from the tenor of appellant's rеsponses he was in fact given full opportunity to speak, but chose to state what he did on the record. Even with the minimal dialogue, we find any perceived lapse from Crim.R. 32 to be harmless error.
{¶ 39} Assignments of Error I and II are denied. *8
{¶ 40} The judgment of the Court of Common Pleas of Stark County, Ohio is hereby affirmed.
