Syllabus

SENTENCING: The trial court's R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) findings that consecutive prison terms were necessary to protect the public from future crime by the defendant and were not disproportionate to the seriousness of the defendant's conduct were sufficiently supported by the record, which showed that the defendant was out on bond when he committed four robberies and a felonious assault, his conduct demonstrated an escalating path of violence, he had a long record of juvenile adjudications, and he had a plethora of infractions while housed in the justice center. Because the sentencing entries do not reflect the sentences the trial court actually imposed upon the defendant at the sentencing hearing, the causes are remanded for the trial court to correct the defect by nunc pro tunc entries.
