Torres v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided March 18, 1986No. 84-793PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Per curiam

The order denying the defendant’s motion for post-conviction relief is reversed upon a holding that the evidence before the trial court indisputably failed to establish that the defendant’s entry of a guilty plea to the charges against him was knowingly and voluntarily made with an understanding of the consequences. See Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969); Williams v. State, 316 So.2d 267 (Fla.1975).

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
