Syllabus

CRIM.R. 11 – GUILTY PLEAS – SENTENCING: The trial court complied with Crim.R. 11(C) before accepting defendant's guilty pleas, and defendant entered the pleas knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently: although the record reflects defendant's confusion regarding an outstanding charge, the trial court permitted defendant to consult with his attorneys off the record, and after the off-the-record discussions, defendant then indicated his desire to plead guilty to the remaining charge. The trial court did not err by imposing consecutive sentences where the court engaged in the required analysis under R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) and its findings were supported by the record: defendant had an outstanding warrant at the time of the underlying offenses and a criminal history of drug trafficking, and defendant shot the victim in the leg during the course of an aggravated robbery.
