Syllabus

Ineffective assistance of counsel sentence allied offense merger separate harm plea guilty knowingly intelligently voluntary substantial compliance prejudice maximum penalty. Defendant's guilty plea was knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily made. Defense counsel's mistaken prediction about the likelihood of a particular sentence was insufficient to demonstrate ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial court did not err by failing to merge the offenses and imposing separate concurrent sentences. Defendant's offenses were not allied offenses of similar import.
