Syllabus

Felony Sentencing; R.C. 2929.12; Consecutive Sentences; R.C. 2929.14(C)(4). The record shows the trial court considered the statutory factors set forth in R.C. 2929.12 in sentencing defendant-appellant. However, the trial court did not verbally state all of the findings mandated by R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) at the sentencing hearing concerning consecutive sentencing, so the consecutive sentences with respect to the prison terms for two of the offenses are vacated and the case is remanded for the limited purpose of resentencing defendant-appellant only with respect to the issue of whether those two sentences should be served consecutively. Defendant-appellant's convictions were not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
