Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
Plea Bargain Problem
Can someone who has pleaded guilty to three felony counts change his plea after he has been serving time? Case involved a mionor who later admitted to friends she made up allegations. We believe he was coerced into taking plea bargain. He wanted to go to trial but ran out of money and attorney did not want to roll the dice. After a deal was made the judge changed his mind and upped the sentence.
