Syllabus

Consecutive sentences proportionality finding R.C. 2929.14(C)(4). - Appellant's consecutive sentences were not contrary to law because although the trial court did not use the express statutory language in finding that consecutive sentences were not disproportionate to the danger the appellant posed to the public — the second part of the proportionality finding — considering the trial court's statements at sentencing in their entirety, the record reflected that the court considered both the seriousness of appellant's conduct and the danger he poses to the public and determined that the comparison supported the imposition of consecutive sentences.
