Syllabus

Guilty plea Alford plea protestations of innocence Crim.R. 11 knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily factual basis. Defendant-appellant's statement that he pleads guilty but he is not guilty is a protestation of innocence sufficient to invoke the trial court's duty to further inquire into the factual basis surrounding the charges to determine whether defendant-appellant is making a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary plea. Where the trial court failed to so inquire, defendant-appellant's guilty plea was not made knowingly, voluntarily, or intelligently.
