Syllabus

PLEAS – CRIM.R. 11: The trial court did not err in accepting defendant's guilty pleas even though it sentenced defendant to a longer sentence than the sentence the state and defendant had agreed to where the trial court informed defendant prior to accepting his pleas that it was not bound by that agreement and defendant indicated that he understood. Defendant's guilty pleas were not made knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily where the court completely failed to comply with Crim.R. 11(C) by failing to inform defendant during the plea colloquy of the maximum sentence that could be imposed, and therefore, the pleas must be vacated.
