No. 93-265.

71 Ohio St.3d 630 (1995)

THE STATE OF OHIO, APPELLANT, v. WADDELL, APPELLEE.

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided March 29, 1995.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charles A. Gerken, Hocking County Prosecuting Attorney, and Jeffrey F. Bender, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellant.

FRANCIS E. SWEENEY, SR., J.

In this case we are asked to determine whether a court must consider an accused's statement before accepting a no contest plea to a misdemeanor offense. We hold R.C. 2937.07 requires that a court need only consider the explanation of circumstances by the state before it passes judgment. While a court may certainly consider a statement from the accused, it is not required to do so.
