The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Tyrone D. Manor, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order denying the defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea of second‑degree murder. The Court held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing a hearing, that family pressure does not constitute coercion sufficient to withdraw a plea, and that the defendant failed to show ineffective assistance of counsel.
