Syllabus

Guilty plea Crim.R. 11 knowing, intelligent, voluntary recommended sentence ineffective assistance of counsel presentence investigation. Appellant's guilty plea was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary where the record demonstrates that the trial court complied with Crim.R. 11 and conducted a thorough plea colloquy. The trial court was not required to explicitly ask appellant whether any threats or promises had been made in exchange for his plea. Nothing in the record supports appellant's assertion that he was promised an eight-year sentence. Trial counsel was not ineffective where the terms of the plea agreement were extensively explained to appellant. The use of a presentence investigation from a prior case does not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel.
