Syllabus

The trial court did not err in imposing partially consecutive sentences for the appellant's aggravated drug trafficking convictions. The record does not clearly and convincingly fail to support the trial court's consecutive-sentence findings under R.C. 2929.14(C)(4). The trial court also indicated that it had considered the principles and purposes of sentencing under R.C. 2929.11 as well as the statutory seriousness and recidivism factors under R.C. 2929.12. This court may not vacate or modify the appellant's sentence based on an argument that the record fails to support the trial court's analysis or consideration of those statutory factors. Judgment affirmed. (Donovan, J., concurring in judgment only.)
