People v. Washington

Defendant, Frederick George Washington, pled guilty and was convicted of attempting to obtain property by false pretenses contrary to MCLA § 750.92 (Stat Ann 1962 Rev § 28.287); MCLA § 750.218 (Stat Ann 1962 Rev § 28.415). On appeal he contends that the trial court failed to establish all the required elements of the offense before accepting defendant’s guilty plea, and that the. trial court erred in its acceptance because of certain promises of leniency which were allegedly made to the defendant. The appellee has filed a motion to affirm pursuant to GCR 1963, 817.5(3).
