Syllabus

Consecutive maximum sentence involuntary manslaughter. Judgment affirmed. The trial court made the statutorily required findings for the imposition of consecutive sentences. We are unable to say that the record clearly and convincingly does not support the court's findings. The trial court was not required to make any findings in imposing maximum sentences. The trial court considered the factors set forth in R.C. 2929.11 and 2929.12 and sentenced the defendant within the statutory range. We do not find that the defendant's maximum sentences were clearly and convincingly unsupported by the evidence.
