Syllabus

The trial court did not err in overruling Appellant's presentence motion to withdraw guilty plea. The trial court also did not err in allowing Appellant's former defense counsel to testify at the hearing on the motion to withdraw guilty plea. Contrary to Appellant's claim otherwise, Appellant waived the attorney-client privilege when he testified at the hearing and published information regarding the communications he had with his former counsel. In addition, Appellant's ineffective assistance of counsel claim fails because Appellant failed to establish that his defense counsel performed deficiently. Affirmed.
