Glover v. State

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea to felony murder, as the record supported its determination that defendant entered his plea knowingly, voluntarily, intelligently and without coercion.

Appellant DeMariye Vontrel Glover appeals the trial court’s denial of his motion to withdraw his guilty plea to felony murder. We affirm.

Appellant was indicted, along with a co-defendant, for the offenses of malice murder, felony murder, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, all arising out of the shooting death of Demetrious Moore during an attempted armed robbery. Appellant was represented by counsel, and on the morning the trial was to begin he entered a guilty plea to the felony murder charge in exchange for the prosecutor’s agreement not to prosecute the remaining charges. Following a hearing, the trial judge accepted the negotiated plea, entered a judgment of guilty on the felony murder charge, and sentenced Appellant to life in prison with the possibility of parole. Less than a month later, Appellant filed a timely pro se motion to withdraw the guilty plea on the ground it was not knowingly and voluntarily entered, which was followed by a similar motion filed by trial counsel. Trial counsel was permitted to withdraw.
