Syllabus

COMPULSORY PROCESSES — CRIM.R. 11(C) — CRIM.R. 32.1 — PRESENTENCE MOTION TO WITHDRAW GUILTY PLEA: The trial court complied with Crim.R. 11(C) and properly informed defendant that he was waiving his right to compulsory process by entering guilty pleas where the court told defendant his attorney could obtain witnesses to testify on his behalf, the executed plea-waiver form indicated that defendant was waiving his right to subpoena witnesses, and defendant acknowledged during the plea colloquy that he had reviewed the plea-waiver form with counsel and understood it. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty pleas where the defendant was not pressured or threatened to enter his pleas.
