Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Anthony D.

April 19, 2016

Summary

The court held that a trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying the defendant's oral motion to withdraw his accepted Alford plea without conducting a further inquiry because the defendant and counsel offered only generalized concerns and no supporting facts. The court also concluded that the plea canvass substantially complied with the applicable requirements. The judgment affirming the conviction was affirmed.
