Syllabus

Criminal Law — Ineffective Assistance— Guilty Plea — Felony Sentencing. Appellant could not demonstrate ineffective assistance of counsel, because he failed to cite to the record or relevant authority to prove that his trial counsel's performance was deficient. Moreover, appellant failed to establish prejudice. Next, the trial court did not err in finding guilt, because the guilty plea itself was sufficient to make the guilty finding. Finally, the trial court did not err by sentencing appellant to a term of imprisonment, because the court properly considered the purposes of sentencing pursuant to R.C. 2929.11, the factors of sentencing according to R.C. 2929.12, and otherwise sentenced appellant within the proper statutory range.
