Syllabus

PLEA – CRIM.R. 11 – VIOLENT OFFENDER REGISTRY – R.C. 2903.41 – JAIL TIME CREDIT: Defendant failed to demonstrate that his pleas were not made knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently where the trial court substantially complied with Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(a) by advising defendant of the minimum prison term he faced on each count and that the firearm specification came with a mandatory three-year prison term, and ensuring that defendant had read, understood, and signed the plea agreement form, which stated the same. The trial court erred in ordering that defendant enroll in the violent offender registry pursuant to R.C. 2903.41 where defendant was not convicted under any of the qualifying code sections. The trial court erred in failing to include credit for time served in the sentencing entry.
