Syllabus

KNOWING, INTELLIGENT, AND VOLUNTARY PLEA; CRIM.R. 11; R.C. 2941.25; MERGER. The defendant-appellant's guilty pleas were knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. The trial court strictly complied with Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(c) and advised the defendant-appellant of the privilege against self-incrimination prior to accepting her guilty pleas. The trial court substantially complied with Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(b) when it informed the defendant-appellant of and determined that she understood the effect of her guilty pleas. The trial court erred by not merging the defendant-appellant's convictions for strangulation and domestic violence as allied offenses of similar import.
