Syllabus

The record belies appellant's arguments that his plea was not knowing and voluntary (1) because he had a language barrier (2) because the trial court colloquy was not helpful (3) because he believed he would get probation, and (4) because he relied on the advice of counsel that a joint sentencing recommendation carries a lot of weight and it is exceptional for a judge not to follow the joint recommendation. Furthermore, the judgment entry and record reveal that the trial court considered the purposes and principles of sentencing set forth in R.C. 2929.11 and 2929.12. Accordingly, the assignments of error are overruled. Judgment affirmed.
