Syllabus

GUILTY PLEA – CRIM.R. 11 – APPELLATE REVIEW/CRIMINAL – COUNSEL – SENTENCING: Where the trial court conducted a thorough Crim.R. 11 colloquy prior to accepting defendant's guilty plea, which included informing defendant of the maximum sentence he faced, defendant's plea was not rendered involuntary by the trial court's later imposition of the maximum sentence. The appellate court is unable to determine on appeal whether trial counsel was ineffective where the allegations of counsel's ineffectiveness are based on facts outside the record. The trial court's imposition of a maximum sentence was not contrary to law where the sentence fell within the available sentencing range and where the record reflected that the court considered the purposes and principles of sentencing in R.C. 2929.11 and the factors in R.C. 2929.12.
