Presentence motion to withdraw no contest plea maximum sentence for misdemeanor offense jail-time credit. - Trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's presentence motion to withdraw his no contest plea where defendant was represented by competent counsel, given a full Crim.R. 11 hearing before he entered his plea, given a complete hearing on the motion to withdraw, and the record reflected that the court gave full and fair consideration to the plea withdrawal request court did not abuse its discretion in imposing a maximum sentence for a first-degree misdemeanor because the principles and purposes of misdemeanor sentencing in R.C. 2929.21 and the misdemeanor sentencing factors in R.C. 2929.22(B) supported a maximum sentence trial court did not err in not giving the defendant the full amount of jail-time credit requested because the time he spent in jail arose from facts that were separate and unrelated to this offense.
