In State v. Ober (Oct. 10, 1997), Greene App. No. 97CA0019, 1997 Ohio App, the Second District considered this same issue. In rejecting the argument, the court stated "Ober is correct that the 'sentence shall not impose an unnecessary burden on state or local government resources.' R.C. 2929.19(A). According to criminal law experts, this resource principle 'impacts on the application of the presumptions also contained in this section and upon the exercise of discretion.' Griffin & Katz, Ohio Felony Sentencing Law (1996-97), 62. Courts may consider whether a criminal sanction would unduly burden resources when deciding whether a second-degree felony offender has overcome the presumption in favor of imprisonment because the resource principle is consistent with the overriding purposes and principles of felony sentencing set forth in R.C.2929.11. Id." The Ober court concluded, "although resource burdens may be a relevant sentencing criterion, R.C. 2929.13(D) does not require trial courts to elevate resource conservation above the seriousness and recidivism factors. Imposing a community control sanction on Ober may have saved state and local government funds; however, this factor alone would not usually overcome the presumption in favor of imprisonment." Id.
