Description

DeBRULER, J. Lee Otis Brown appeals from the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief in which he sought to withdraw his plea of guilty to the offense of attempted voluntary manslaughter. After originally entering a plea of not guilty to a charge of attempted murder, a class A felony, Ind. Code §§ 35-41-5-1 and 35-42-1-1 (Burns 1979 Repl.), defendant requested that he be allowed to withdraw that plea and enter a plea of guilty to attempted voluntary manslaughter, Ind. Code §§ 35-41-5-1 and 35-42-1-3 (Burns 1979 Repl.), pursuant to a plea agreement. The prosecutor agreed to recommend an executed twenty-year term of imprisonment. Defendant's plea of guilty was accepted after he was questioned and advised of his rights. One month later, after obtaining new counsel, but prior to sentencing, defendant moved to withdraw his guilty plea. A hearing was held on this motion, and it was denied. Then defendant, over his objection, was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. He filed this petition for post-conviction relief several months later, and it too was denied after a hearing. Defendant now appeals this denial claiming that his plea of guilty was not entered knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily, and that the trial court erred in denying his motions to withdraw that guilty plea.
