Syllabus

CRIMINAL – A trial court substantially complies with Crim. R. 11(C) notice requirements for non-constitutional rights at a plea hearing where the trial court acknowledges the agreed aggregate sentence and expresses its intention to impose the aggregate sentence, as well as recognizes the potential sentences for aggravated murder, which do not include probation or community control. Additional evidence that Appellant subjectively understood he was subject to a mandatory prison sentence for aggravated murder includes Appellant's acknowledgement that he read and understood the plea agreement, which plainly stated that aggravated murder carried a mandatory sentence.
