Syllabus

Plea advisement; Dangler; prejudice; Reagan Tokes Law; R.C. 2929.144; Crim.R. 11; maximum sentence; complete failure. Judgment affirmed. Appellant's plea was knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered, despite the trial court not specifically advising appellant that he was subject to an indefinite sentence under Reagan Tokes. Because we found that the trial court's advisement was not a complete failure to advise of the maximum penalty under Crim.R. 11(C), appellant was required to prove prejudice. Appellant did not establish that he was prejudiced.
