Syllabus

The totality of the circumstances establish that appellant understood the nature of the charge to which she pled guilty therefore, the trial court's failure to fully recite the elements of attempted involuntary manslaughter at the plea hearing did not affect the knowing, intelligent, and voluntary nature of appellant's guilty plea to that offense. In addition, the eight-year prison term that appellant received for attempted involuntary manslaughter is not contrary to law. However, the post-release control portion of appellant's sentence is contrary to law due to the trial court's failure to fully inform appellant of the consequences for violating post-release control at the sentencing hearing as required by R.C. 2929.19(B)(2)(f). Judgment affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded to the trial court for the sole purpose of resentencing appellant to post-release control.
