When a criminal defendant was not convicted of a repeat violent offender specification or ordered to serve consecutive sentences, trial courts are not required to make findings under R.C. 2929.14. Further, trial courts are not required to make any findings under R.C. 2929.11 and 2929.12. Appellant did not receive ineffective assistance of counsel because, contrary to appellant's argument, his trial counsel did argue mitigation at sentencing. Finally, there is no support in the record for appellant's argument that the trial court improperly increased his prison sentence based on uncharged conduct.
