CRIMINAL-FELONY SENTENCING-PROPORTIONALITY-CONSISTENCY IN SENTENCING - The trial court's imposition of maximum and consecutive sentences is affirmed where the trial court stated it had considered the principles and purposes of felony sentencing under R.C. 2929.11 and had balanced the seriousness and recidivism factors under R.C. 2929.12, and where the trial court made the necessary findings for imposition of consecutive sentences; consistency-in-sentencing arguments must first be raised at the trial court level in order to be preserved for appellate review.
