State of Ohio v. Michael T. Paige, Case No. 2016-1848
Eighth District Court of Appeals (Cuyahoga County)
ISSUES:
- Is the imposition of a prison term for one offense and a term of community control for a separate, related offense constitute an illegal "split sentence?"
- Can a reviewing Ohio court use a form of the "sentencing-package" doctrine to declare a sanction to be an illegal split sentence?
