|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | State v.

| 2 | State v. Castle | green | “in exercising its discretion, a trial court must consider the statutory policies that apply to every felony offense, including those set out in r.c. 2929.11 and r.c. 2929.12.” | 5 |
| 3 | State v. Vanderhorst | neutral | “the trial court has full discretion to impose any sentence within the authorized statutory range, and the court is not required to make any findings or give reasons for imposing maximum or more than minimum sentences.” | 4 |
| 4 | State v. McCoy | neutral | “this court no longer applies an abuse of discretion standard when reviewing felony sentences, as the supreme court of ohio has made clear that felony sentences are to be reviewed in accordance with the standard set forth in r.c. 2953.08(g)(2).” | 4 |
| 5 | State v. Folk | neutral | “to protect the public from future crime by the offender and others and to punish the offender using the minimum sanctions that the court determines accomplish those purposes without imposing an unnecessary burden on state or local government resources.” | 3 |
