Syllabus

Venue Plain Error Evid.R. 801(D)(2)(b) Adoptive Admissions Jury Instructions Felony Sentencing R.C. 2929.19(B)(2)(c) Advisements. The evidence was sufficient to show that the rape offense was committed in Crawford County, and therefore there was no plain error with respect to venue. The trial court did not commit plain error by giving an adoptive-admission jury instruction or by repeating a single, neutral line from that instruction. As the trial court failed to advise defendant-appellant at the sentencing hearing of all the matters required by R.C. 2929.19(B)(2)(c), defendant-appellant's sentence is contrary to law.
