State of Tennessee v. Ricky Jan Stevison - dissenting opinion

Syllabus

I respectfully dissent from the conclusion reached by the majority affirming the trial court's denial of the Defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea. Based on my review of the record, the Defendant's guilty pleas were not knowingly, voluntarily, and understandingly entered as to their effect and consequences. Accordingly, I would have concluded that the trial court erred by denying his motion to withdraw the guilty plea.
