How courts have described this case

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

• explaining that the District Court took \too narrow a view of Alford\ by simply focusing on the fact that the defendant \made a voluntary and intelligent choice\ to plead guilty without making sure \that there was a factual basis for the plea\
• lack of factual basis other than the defendant’s own “mouthing” of the word “guilty” was insufficient
• wherein the court concluded that Alford applies where \defendant's affirmative general statements that he did commit the crime were also offset by negative statements that he did not\
