Syllabus

Maximum sentence; R.C. 2929.11; R.C. 2929.12; consecutive sentences; R.C. 2929.14(C)(4); proportionality findings. - Maximum individual sentences affirmed where the record supports that the trial court considered R.C. 2929.11 and 2929.12. Trial court's comment about the defendant being uncooperative with police and disclosing his accomplice did not render his sentence contrary to law. Consecutive sentences reversed because the trial court did not comply with R.C. 2929.14(C)(4). The trial court neither expressly made the disproportionality findings required by R.C. 2929.14(C) nor made any statement showing that the court considered those factors using different language.
