State ex rel. Youngblood v. Henderson

243 So. 2d 818, 257 La. 739, 1971 La. LEXIS 4461

Opinion

The facts at the evidentiary hearing disprove petitioner’s allegation that no counsel was appointed to represent and advise him prior to his plea of guilty. Petitioner further has not proved he was not fully advised of his rights prior to his plea, and the petitioner does not allege that he was not in fact guilty, as indicated by the evidence. Jones v. Smith, 311 F.2d 475 (5 Cir., 1969) is factually distinguishable.
