Syllabus

Defendant's guilty plea to aggravated murder does not preclude appellate review of the process that had been accorded him at the bindover hearing. The juvenile court did not err in finding probable cause that the 17-year-old defendant had committed the murder offense alleged the case properly was transferred to the general division of the common pleas court. Where eyewitness identification testimony has not been tainted by suggestive procedures, appellate review of the likelihood of irreparable misidentification is not indicated in any event, the eyewitness here knew the defendant and testified that he had adequate opportunity to observe him shooting repeatedly.
