Syllabus

Guilty plea knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waiver of constitutional rights de novo standard of review totality of the circumstances Crim.R. 11 ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial court's acceptance of defendant's guilty plea complied with Crim.R. 11(C) and was a valid waiver of his constitutional rights. Although the trial court (1) did not ask whether the defendant understood the constitutional rights he was being asked to waive, (2) did not stop after identifying each constitutional right and ask the defendant whether he waived each right, and (3) utilized a group-plea hearing, defendant's guilty plea was valid. The trial court referenced and explained the constitutional rights delineated in Crim.R. 11(C) as well as their waiver in a manner reasonably intelligible to the defendant.
