Crim.R. 32.1 withdrawal of guilty plea manifest injustice abuse of discretion. Judgment affirmed. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in granting defendant's postsentence motion to vacate guilty pleas to correct a manifest injustice. The trial court judge, who presided over the criminal case from its onset, was in the best position to balance the credibility of the evidence, parties, and motions with the legal issues raised and determine whether a manifest injustice had occurred.
