How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • allowing defendant to challenge prior convictions used to enhance sentence on the ground that prior conviction was the result of an involuntary plea
  • trial judge’s service as district attorney when defendant’s previous guilty plea was entered did not require recusal
  • counsel’s strategic decision not to file recusal motion does not constitute ineffective assistance where counsel felt motion would not be granted and might be frivolous
  • scales and marijuana packaged for resale constitute evidence that defendant was guilty of possession with intent to distribute
  • even if erroneous, trial court’s failure to recuse itself was not a proper basis for reversal because defendant could not show harm
