Syllabus

R.C. 2929.14(C)(4); consecutive sentences; postrelease control; nunc pro tunc entry. Appellant failed to demonstrate consecutive sentences were clearly and convincingly not supported by the record. Defendant admitted at a hearing he committed crimes while on postrelease control for prior offenses. Defendant's repeat convictions supported trial court's finding that offender's history of criminal conduct made consecutive sentences necessary to protect the public from future crime. Remanded to trial court for nunc pro tunc entry clarifying postrelease-control sentence applies only to felonious-assault conviction, instead of to all convictions.
