People v. Knight (1987)

(People v. Knight (1987) 194 Cal.App.3d 337, 344 [“Postplea apprehension (buyer’s remorse) regarding the anticipated sentence, even if it occurs well before sentencing, is not sufficient to compel the exercise of judicial discretion to permit withdrawal of the plea of guilty”].) The trial court did not abuse its discretion.

(Cf. People v. Knight (1987) 194 Cal.App. 3d 337, 344 [entering into a plea is “involuntary” if done without choice or against one’s will, 8 unwillingly done if through only reluctance].) 9 ECF No. 25-5, pgs. 4-5. 10 To the extent Petitioner asserts he was not required to withdraw the original plea, 11 Petitioner’s claim is unpersuasive.

(People v. Urfer (1979) 94 Cal.App.3d 887, 892 [fact that a lawyer points out advice a defendant is reluctant to hear does not render a plea involuntary]; People v. Knight (1987) 194 Cal.App.3d 337, 344 [same]; see generally Morgan v. Regents of University of California (2000) 88 Cal.App.4th 52, 69, 70 [employer must be aware of protected activity].) 2.

We also find meritless defendant’s contention that Ms. Bossi failed to represent him effectively during the plea.

(E.g., Cruz, supra, at pp. 566- 567 [defendant failed to specify nature of “confusion” when he entered plea]; People v. Hunt (1985) 174 Cal.App.3d 95, 103-104 [post-plea apprehension about anticipated sentence insufficient ground to compel trial court to permit withdrawal of guilty plea]; People v. Knight (1987) 194 Cal.App.3d 337, 344 [same; “buyer’s remorse” is insufficient to establish good cause to set aside a plea].) Malbrough and Simmons rely on these principles in arg…

Hunt (1985) 174 Cal.App.3d 95, 103-104 [ 219 Cal.Rptr. 731 ] [postplea apprehension about anticipated sentence insufficient ground to compel trial court to permit withdrawal of guilty plea]; People v.

(See People v. Knight (1987) 194 Cal.App.3d 337, 345 ["choice of which, and how many, potential witnesses to interview or call to trial is precisely the type of choice which should not be subject to review by an appellate court"].) The record shows defense counsel had contemplated calling Morris, but decided not to after prosecution rested.

The record, however, does not support the claim that her attorney “failed to investigate either facts or law in the manner required of a reasonably competent diligent attorney.” (People v. Knight (1987) 194 Cal.App.3d 337, 345 [ 239 Cal.Rptr. 413 ].) It is well established that a defendant who raises ineffective assistance of counsel on appeal “must establish deficient performance based upon the four comers of the record. ‘If the record on appeal fails to show why counsel ac…

For example, in People v. Knight (1987) 194 Cal.App.3d 337, 346-348 [ 239 Cal.Rptr. 413 ], the Court of Appeal rejected a contention that the county’s compensation agreement with private attorneys for representation of indigent defendants contained an inherent conflict of interest because it paid a flat fee whether the defendant pleaded guilty or went to trial, permitted attorneys to engage in private practice, and limited the amount of investigators’ fees.

(People v. Knight (1987) 194 Cal.App.3d 337, 344 [ 239 Cal.Rptr. 413 ] [defendant’s “buyer’s remorse” is not grounds to set aside a plea]; People v. Potter (1978) 77 Cal.App.3d 45, 49 [ 143 Cal.Rptr. 379 ] [defendant accused his defense attorney of running for the office of district attorney].) “In determining whether a trial lawyer performed in a manner to be expected of reasonably competent attorneys acting as diligent advocates, appellate courts should be cautious of the …

(People v. Breslin (2012) 205 3 Cal.App.4th 1409 , 1416.) “Other factors overcoming defendant’s free judgment include inadvertence, fraud or duress.” (People v. Huricks (1995) 32 Cal.App.4th 1201, 1208 .) “The burden is on the defendant to present clear and convincing evidence the ends of justice would be served by permitting a change of plea to not guilty.” (People v. Shaw (1998) 64 Cal.App.4th 492, 496 ; accord Breslin, at pp. 1415–1416.) “Postplea apprehension (buyer’s re…

(Breslin, at p. 1416.) However, a “defendant may not withdraw a plea because the defendant has changed his or her mind.” (Archer, supra, 230 Cal.App.4th at p. 702 ; see People v. Knight (1987) 194 Cal.App.3d 337, 344 [“buyer’s remorse . . . is not sufficient”].) Even “[t]he fact [a defendant] may have been persuaded, or was reluctant, to accept the plea is not sufficient to warrant the plea being withdrawn.” (People v. Ravaux (2006) 142 Cal.App.4th 914, 919 .) We review a ru…
