Syllabus

Guilty plea strict compliance constitutional right restitution invited error allocution. The trial court strictly complied with its advisement to the defendant of his constitutional right of compulsory process when it asked if the defendant understood that he had the right to subpoena witnesses to testify in his favor at trial. The trial court did not abuse its discretion with its restitution order because the defendant invited any error there may have been with it by agreeing to it. Further, the victim provided a statement about her damages. Although the trial court did not allow the defendant to present a PowerPoint presentation, the defendant was afforded full and fair allocution. The defendant was permitted to speak at length to express his remorse, describe the state he was in at the time he committed the crimes, describe the network of support he has, and state his hope for his future.
