Syllabus

SENTENCING – PLEA – FINE: Defendant's guilty plea was knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered where the trial court notified defendant that it was not bound to impose the recommended sentence and could impose a longer sentence, and defendant was given the opportunity to reject the plea agreement. The trial court did not err in imposing a fine where the court considered defendant's present and future ability to pay by reviewing the presentence investigation and engaging in a discussion about defendant's financial hardship.
