Syllabus

Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(a) maximum penalty; Reagan Tokes; indefinite sentence; maximum sentence; prejudice. - Conviction upheld where defendant entered into a plea agreement that included an indefinite sentence. Although the trial court did not fully comply with Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(a)'s requirement that it inform defendant of the maximum penalty that could be imposed on the indefinite sentence, it explained how the indefinite sentence would be calculated. Defendant did not argue nor demonstrate prejudice where he understood the agreed prison sentence would include an indefinite sentence.
