Courts and litigants are advised that the Revised Code contains additional requirements, not contained in Crim.R. 11, for advising certain defendants at a plea of guilty or no contest of other possible consequences in specified circumstances. See, e.g., Sections 2943.031 (possible immigration consequences), 2943.032 (possible extension of prison term), and 2943.033 (possible firearm restriction) of the Ohio Revised Code. Other plea requirements not contained in Crim.R. 11 may also apply. See, e.g., Section 2937.07 (requiring explanation of circumstances in certain misdemeanor cases) of the Ohio Revised Code.
