Syllabus

The trial court did not punish Appellant in violation of his right to remain silent during the sentencing hearing. Although Appellant had the right to remain silent during sentencing, the trial court could consider the defendant's failure to speak in the context of lack of remorse. This is an appropriate sentencing consideration under R.C. 2929.12(D)(5) and (E)(5). Affirmed.
