• 2022 Ohio 160

Syllabus

The trial court did not err by denying appellant's Crim.R. 32.1 motion to withdraw his guilty plea to first-degree felony rape where, regardless of which standard applied, i.e., the more liberal pre-sentence standard or the more stringent standard applied to post-sentence motions, appellant failed to demonstrate that he was entitled to withdraw his guilty plea given appellant's motivation in moving to withdraw his plea was that he received an unexpectedly high eight-year prison sentence rather than a lower prison sentence of three, four, or five years.
