State v. Patrick (Slip Opinion) green
ohio · 2020
1 sentence

2021The crux of this argument is that the adult portion of the SYO sentence does not allow the court to consider youth as a mitigating factor, contrary to the Ohio Supreme Court’s recent decision in State v. Patrick, Slip Opinion No. 2020-Ohio-6803 , and therefore, violates due process and the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. {¶20} In Patrick, the Ohio Supreme Court determined that a trial court must consider a juvenile’s youth as a mitigating factor when imposing a life sentence on a juvenile who was convicted as an adult.
