Syllabus

GUILTY PLEA — CRIM.R. 11(C)(2) — SENTENCING — COUNSEL: Where defendant failed to demonstrate that his guilty plea was not knowingly and voluntarily entered due to his confusion regarding the nature of his weapons-under-disability charge, and the trial court complied with Crim.R. 11., the court did not err in accepting defendant's guilty plea. Trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to move to withdraw a plea or ensure defendant understood the nature of the charge against him where the plea was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent. Defendant's sentences were supported by the record and were not contrary to law where the trial court sentenced defendant within the relevant statutory range and properly considered the principles and purposes of sentencing and the felony sentencing factors in sentencing defendant.
