Syllabus

Motion to withdraw guilty plea; Crim.R. 11; hearing; change of heart. Trial court did not abuse its discretion when it denied appellant's presentence motion to withdraw his guilty pleas, where the scope of the hearing was sufficient to address appellant's claims and the trial court fully and completely considered the motion; appellant's decision was based on a change of heart where he engaged in a detailed conversation with the trial court, was advised that he had the option of proceeding to trial if he wanted to tell his version of events, was given the opportunity to consult with counsel and entered the guilty pleas, and later moved to withdraw the pleas because he claimed that the advice of counsel scared him into entering a plea rather than proceed to trial.
