Syllabus

Fines R.C. 2929.19 indigent plain error R.C. 2929.14(C)(4). The trial court did not commit plain error in imposing the fines as part of Peters's sentence. Peters's assignment of error contesting his consecutive sentences is moot because he was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for his conviction for aggravated murder, which he does not challenge on appeal. Even if his assignment of error contesting consecutive sentences was not moot, the trial court did not err because the record shows that the trial court made the requisite findings with respect to consecutive sentences at the sentencing hearing and incorporated those findings in its journal entry.
