Ohio Supreme Court

State v. Polizzi

July 10, 20262026 Ohio 2588

Summary

The court affirmed the Eleventh District’s judgment upholding Polizzi’s 358-month aggregate prison term. It held that proportionality review of consecutive sentences does not require consideration of the total number of consecutive sentences or the resulting aggregate term, although a trial court may consider the offender’s overall conduct and the harm caused by the offenses. Appellate review is limited to whether the statutory findings are clearly and convincingly unsupported by the record or the sentence is otherwise contrary to law.
