The opinion
Painter, Judge,
concurring separately.
{¶ 14} I continue to believe, as I wrote in
State v.
Jefferson,
24
that “absent a long delay in the proceedings or prejudice to the state, it is an abuse of discretion per se to deny a motion to withdraw a plea made before sentence. Of course, even if there is a delay or prejudice, another one or more of the
Fish
factors may compel setting aside the plea.”
{¶ 15} But, as I also wrote then, “prejudice to the state is one major consideration * * *.” Here, the trial court found prejudice to the state. That finding makes sense and, together with the other factors weighed by the trial court, convinces me to vote to affirm.
{¶ 16} I concur with the balance of the lead opinion as well.
