Syllabus

<p>Criminal Law — motion to change plea after verdict — discretion of court.</p> <p>It is not an abuse of discretion for the trial court after a plea of guilty and sentence in a misdemeanor case to refuse defendant’s motion to change his plea from that of guilty to that of not guilty where there is no showing that the defendant was misled by anything said or done by the court or prosecuting attorney although the defendant was sentenced to pay a larger fine than he believed from statements made by a police officer would be imposed upon him.</p>
