Syllabus

Trial court complied with R.C. 2929.19(B)(5) when it considered appellant's present and future ability to pay prior to ordering him to pay restitution where appellant was 16 years old at the time of the offense, suffered from no physical or mental handicaps, had previously been employed, had since received his GED, and had aspirations to go to college, all of which was contained in the pre-sentence investigative report. In addition, the trial court's decision to sentence appellant to serve a term of seven years in prison was clearly and convincingly not contrary to law and supported by the record where appellant and an accomplice broke into a home where they assaulted the victim and held her at gunpoint before stealing items belonging to her, including jewelry, her cell phone, and other electronics.
