Syllabus

Crim.R. 32.1; ineffective assistance of counsel; hearing; pressure; defective performance. - Appellant was not deprived of effective assistance of counsel during her presentence motion to withdraw her guilty plea. Appellant failed to demonstrate that a conflict existed between her and counsel, and the record does not support that appellant was pressured by her counsel to plead guilty. Counsel strongly advocated for appellant's plea to be withdrawn, and thus counsel's representation did not fall below an objective standard of reasonable representation.
