Description

A trial court accepted Tony Lemar Smiths plea of guilty to cocaine possession even though defense counsel expressed a mistaken belief that Smith could appeal a suppression ruling after pleading guilty. The Court of Appeals held that defense counsels mistaken statement did not overcome the evidence that Smith entered the plea knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently, and dismissed Smiths appeal without reaching the merits. We reverse and remand to the trial court to permit Smith to withdraw his plea in favor of a trial on stipulated facts.
