CRIM.R. 11(C) – GUILTY PLEA – COUNSEL – INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE – PREJUDICE: Crim.R. 11(C) does not require a trial court, before accepting a guilty plea to a felony offense, to inform a defendant that entering a guilty plea would waive the defendant's right to challenge on appeal the trial court's denial of the defendant's motion to suppress. Where trial counsel was aware that defendant's intent was to appeal the denial of his motion to suppress, counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to advise defendant that a guilty plea would waive defendant's right to appeal the trial court's denial of his motion to suppress and by allowing defendant to plead guilty, as opposed to no contest.
