Syllabus

The trial court did not err in considering previous charges of domestic violence against the defendant, that did not result in conviction, at sentencing. A trial court may consider a defendant's previous acts when they are not the sole basis for the sentence. Here, the charges were but one of many factors considered by the trial court in sentencing the defendant to maximum and consecutive sentences.
