Syllabus

Following a jury trial, appellant was convicted of improperly handling a firearm in a motor vehicle and receiving stolen property (with a firearm specification). Counsel did not provide ineffective assistance of counsel. Two police officers did not provide expert testimony thus, the State had no obligation to provide expert reports under Crim.R. 16(K). Finally, the trial court made the consecutive sentence findings required by R.C. 2929.14(C)(4), and it cannot be concluded by clear and convincing evidence that the record did not support these findings. Judgment affirmed. (Froelich, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part.)
