Syllabus

Felony sentence R.C. 2953.28(G)(2) consecutive sentences R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) statutory findings clearly and convincingly supported by the record attempted failure to comply R.C. 2921.331(D) necessary for the protection of the public not disproportionate to the danger posed by the offender proportionality finding vacate and remand for resentencing postrelease control R.C. 2967.28(C). The trial court did not make the requisite findings to support consecutive sentences under R.C. 2929.14(C) by failing to make the full proportionality finding and failing to consider whether consecutive sentences were necessary for appellant's punishment. The court further erred by ordering that appellant be subject to postrelease control for a greater period than allowed by statute for a fourth-degree felony.
