Syllabus

Appellant's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and denial of due process based on counsel's lack of advocacy are not properly raised on direct appeal because they rely on evidence outside the record. Appellant also has not demonstrated that counsel's actions affected his ability to enter a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary plea. Counsel was not ineffective for failing to seek a dismissal based on a speedy trial violation and for failing to advise appellant of the speedy trial process under R.C. 2941.401. Judgment affirmed.
