Syllabus

The trial court did not err in denying without a hearing appellant's post-sentence motion to withdraw his guilty pleas. Appellant's 20-year unexplained delay in filing his motion weighed heavily against a finding of a manifest injustice. No manifest injustice was shown based on the plea hearing, the State's unwillingness to agree to a no contest plea, the State's alleged failure to provide full discovery, appellant's apparent absence from a hearing on one of his motions to suppress, his allegation that there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions, or the trial court's improper notification regarding post-release control for his aggravated murder charge. Judgment affirmed.
