Description
Defendant Murdock pled guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Thereafter, he filed a motion under Crim. P. 35(b) alleging that the court failed to comply with Crim. P. 11, and that "his plea of guilty was involuntary in that he did not knowingly, understandingly and intelligently enter his plea of guilty." His motion further asserted that he was, in fact, not guilty of first-degree murder and had a meritorious defense to the charge. The court after hearing denied the defendants 35(b) motion. On this appeal, the defendant urges reversal. Our review of the record convinces us that the trial court erred in denying the defendants 35(b) motion. We therefore reverse the judgment of the court and order that this defendant be rearraigned.
