Syllabus

Consecutive sentences; R.C. 2929.14(C); R.C. 2929.14(C)(4)(c); juvenile record. Judgment affirmed. The defendant challenges the trial court's finding under R.C. 2929.14(C)(4)(c), claiming that his juvenile criminal history does not provide support for the imposition of a discretionary consecutive sentence. However, a defendant's juvenile record may be considered as part of an offender's criminal conduct under R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) for the purposes of determining whether to impose consecutive sentences. Based on the record before us, we cannot clearly and convincingly conclude that the record does not support the trial court's R.C. 2929.14(C)(4)(c) finding.
