1 Answer from Attorneys
From your question it is not clear whether the offense is a felony or a misdemeanor. In Ohio, prison can only be imposed if the offense is a felony. Misdemeanor offenses can result in a sentence to spend time in the County Jail, but not in prison.
The defendant needs to discuss these matters with his attorney, because the answer to these questions depends on the facts of the case. Also, the attorney will probably be able to give the defendant some idea of what the Judge will actually do at sentencing.
