The irony is that a series of federal court cases designed to shift discretion from judges to juries have in fact ultimately sorted out in holdings that give judges a lot more discretion without having to state a reason. I suspect most judges would be happy with it.
Given what the U.S. Supreme Court did with similar issues, it really isn't surprising that the Ohio Supreme Court followed that.
