Syllabus

Criminal law—Aggravated murder—Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(c)—Trial court did not advise capital defendant at time guilty plea was entered that by pleading guilty, defendant was waiving rights to confront witnesses against him and to have guilt proved beyond a reasonable doubt—Because trial court accepted defendant's guilty plea without first strictly complying with Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(c), the plea is invalid—Convictions and sentences vacated and cause remanded to the trial court for new proceedings.
