There are four basic alternatives for sentencing in a criminal law case. These include incarceration (prison or jail time), probation, restitution, and community service. However, when it comes to a violent crime sentence, you are most likely facing extended jail time or worse.
For example, in Ohio the murder penalties are very specific and serious. According to the Ohio Revised Code, section 2929.02, anyone convicted of or pleading guilty to aggravated murder “shall suffer death or be imprisoned for life.” The only exception to the death penalty is if the person is under the age of 18. Fines up to $25,000 can also be a part of the sentence.
Even if the charges are not as serious as murder, there is constant public pressure to increase the already strict penalties for people convicted of committing violent crimes in Ohio.
