• 2025 Ohio 881

Syllabus

The trial court erred in accepting appellant's no contest plea where the trial court failed to advise appellant during the plea colloquy that by entering his no contest plea, he was waiving his right to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses. As the trial court failed to explain a constitutional right set forth in Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(c), we presume the plea was entered involuntarily and unknowingly and appellant did not need to show prejudice to have his plea vacated. WITH DISSENTING OPINION.
