Syllabus

The trial court, following a no-contest plea, found Defendant-appellant guilty of aggravated vehicular homicide under R.C. 2903.06(A)(1)(a) for causing the death of another as the proximate result of the operation of a motor vehicle in violation of R.C. 4511.19(A). The trial court did not err by overruling Defendant-appellant's motion seeking to suppress the result of a blood test. The securing, testing, and retention of Defendant-appellant's blood substantially complied with the applicable Ohio Administrative Code requirements, and Defendant-appellant consented to provide samples of his blood for toxicological analysis. The trial court informed Defendant-appellant that a prison term was mandatory thus, it cannot be asserted that the plea was less than knowing and voluntary on this basis. Finally, the sentence imposed by the trial court is not contrary to law. Judgment affirmed. (Donovan, J., concurring in judgment only.)
