Syllabus

Sufficiency manifest weight consecutive sentences penalty-enhancing specifications firearm specifications felonious assault knowingly credibility convicted felons. There is sufficient evidence to support felonious assault conviction where defendant knowingly caused serious physical harm to the victim by creating the circumstances that led to the victim's foreseeable injury. Defendant's convictions are not against manifest weight of the evidence where victims' testimony was credible even though they were both convicted felons and there was a minor inconsistency between their testimonies. Trial court was not required to make findings required by R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) to impose consecutive sentences on firearm specifications because firearm specifications are penalty-enhancing provisions rather than criminal offenses and are governed by other sentencing provisions.
