Syllabus

R.C. 2953.08(G)(2), felony sentencing; sentence contrary to law; R.C. 2929.144, maximum prison terms; R.C. 2929.14(C)(4), consecutive sentences; R.C. 2941.25, allied offenses; merger. The aggregate prison term exceeds the maximum sentence permitted by law and is therefore contrary to law. Appellant has not demonstrated that the record fails to clearly and convincingly support the trial court's R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) consecutive-sentence findings. The failure to merge the allied offenses of attempted grand theft and aggravated robbery constitutes error.
