A defendant must be present for sentencing (3 1 2013)
Ohio Criminal Rule 43(A) states that a defendant must be present for every stage of his criminal proceeding and trial. This includes the sentencing hearing. Therefore, it is error for the Sentencing Entry to include a sentence (or component of a sentence) that is different than what was imposed at the sentencing hearing. That is what happened in the recent case of State v. Williams, 2013-Ohio-726, and the case was remanded to the trial court for re-sentencing.
