State v. Alicea
Connecticut Appellate Court
Decided April 16, 1996No. 14000PublishedCited by 9 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtHeiman, J.
The defendant appeals from the judgments of conviction, rendered following his guilty plea, of failure to appear in the first degree1 in violation of General Statutes § 53a-172 (a).2 On appeal, the defendant claims that the trial court improperly denied his motion to withdraw his guilty plea to the charge of failure to appear in the first degree. He asserts that the action of the trial court was improper because the record fails to reflect that he understood the elements of the crime with which he stood charged. We agree with the defendant and reverse the judgments of the trial court.
