Jamie P. Hanh1 appeals from the amended sentence entered after the trial court granted his motion to vacate void sentence. Hanh contends that the trial court erred in refusing to consider his motion to withdraw his guilty plea after finding his original sentence to be void. Because Hanh had a statutory right to withdraw his guilty plea, we reverse.

Hanh pled guilty to child molestation and was sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment. Hanh subsequently filed a “Motion to Vacate Void Sentence,” arguing that OCGA § 17-10-6.2 required the trial court to impose a split sentence that included at least one year of probation. Hanh further contended that he was denied effective assistance of counsel and alleged prosecutorial and judicial misconduct with regard to the void sentence. Hanh concluded with a request to withdraw his guilty plea.
