Syllabus

R.C. 2929.11 R.C. 2929.12 R.C. 2953.08 sentencing factors felony sentencing. A trial court must ensure a felony sentence falls within the applicable statutory range prescribed by the degree of the offense and it must consider the purposes of felony sentencing contained in R.C. 2929.11 and the applicable seriousness and recidivism factors outlined in R.C. 2929.12. A court complies with its statutory obligation where it imposes a felony sentence within the applicable range and confirms in a journal entry that it considered the required factors of the law and found prison consistent with the purposes of R.C. 2929.11. A challenge to a sentence as being unsupported by the record fails to the extent that the defendant argues that the trial court should have considered and weighed the factors in R.C. 2929.11 and 2929.12 differently than it did.
