Re: sentencing
A motion to withdraw a guilty plea based on a claim of actual innocence is a proper motion to be made at time of sentencing. You neeed to speak to a lawyer about all of the ramifications.
Re: sentencing
Let me blunt, you would be an idiot to allow yourself to be charged criminally for a crime you didn't commit.....retain an attorney before your life is changed forever. A criminal record will stay with you until you die...it's your choice.
