Syllabus

The trial court did not err by imposing consecutive prison sentences. Although appellant argued that the trial court's decision to impose consecutive sentences contradicted the overriding purposes and principles of felony sentencing in R.C. 2929.11, it is well established that consecutive sentences must be reviewed for compliance with R.C. 2929.14(C)(4), not R.C. 2929.11. The record in this case establishes that the trial court complied with R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) when imposing consecutive sentences. The trial court made all the required consecutive-sentence findings at the sentencing hearing and incorporated those findings into the sentencing entry. The trial court's consecutive-sentence findings also were not clearly and convincingly unsupported by the record. Judgment affirmed.
