Syllabus

R.C. 2929.14(C)(4); consecutive sentences; courses of conduct; seriousness of the offender's conduct; history of criminal conduct; clearly and convincingly. Appellant failed to demonstrate consecutive sentences were clearly and convincingly not supported by the record. Defendant's repeat convictions for identity fraud and theft supported trial court's finding that offender's history of criminal conduct made consecutive sentences necessary to protect the public from future crime. Harm to victim's personal and business credit supported trial court's finding that no single prison term adequately reflected the seriousness of the offender's conduct.
