Criminal Law : Post-Conviction Relief – Guilty Plea – Withdrawal
Stephanie Maniscalco//October 2, 2017
Where a defendant sought to vacate his convictions and sentences in a statutory sodomy case arguing that the trial court erred in setting aside his earlier guilty plea made pursuant to a plea agreement in which the state agreed to request no more than a six-year sentence, the denial of relief is affirmed because the court did not clearly err in finding that the defendant consented to the withdrawal of the initial guilty plea.
Judgment is affirmed.
