Syllabus
INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL VENUE DOUBLE JEOPARDY GUILTY PLEA WAIVER. The defendant-appellant waived any error unrelated to his change-of-plea by pleading guilty to the counts of the indictment. Even so, the defendant-appellant's trial counsel was not ineffective because the defendant-appellant failed to meet his burden of proving that, but for his alleged trial counsel's errors, he would not have pleaded guilty.
