Will I have any input as to the sentencing of the defendant?

Yes.  You will be given as much advanced notice as possible of the Sentence Hearing date and time.  You will be asked to submit a Victim Impact Statement.  A Victim Impact Statement is a letter you write to the judge explaining how you were affected by this crime and what your recommendations are for sentencing.
