State v. Blair

• 2021 Ohio 266

Syllabus

Defendant-appellant's guilty and no contest pleas were knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. Because defendant-appellant entered a no contest plea to the charge of reckless homicide, any error relating to his objections to the State's evidence during his trial for murder did not materially affect his conviction for reckless homicide. Because the bill of information was sufficient to charge the offense of reckless homicide, by pleading no contest to the bill of information, defendant-appellant is foreclosed from challenging the factual merits of the reckless homicide charge. Defendant-appellant did not receive ineffective assistance of trial counsel.
