Syllabus

Consecutive sentences R.C. 2929.14(C)(4), findings, R.C. 2953.08(G)(2)(a). Where state conceded that the trial court did not make the necessary findings under R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) to impose consecutive sentences, sentence reversed and case remanded for trial court to consider whether consecutive sentences are appropriate under R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) and, if so, to make the required findings on the record and incorporate those findings in the sentencing journal entry. Sentence not modified to concurrent sentences as requested by appellant because appellate court can modify a sentence under R.C. 2953.08(G)(2)(a) only if the findings made by the trial court do not support consecutive sentences, and trial court made no findings.
