Tillock v. State

GREENE, Judge.

Movant, Lloyd Michael Tillock, entered a plea of guilty to a felony charge of selling marijuana, § 195.020,1 and was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment.

After he was confined, Tillock filed a motion to set aside his conviction and sentence pursuant to Rule 27.26, alleging, among other things, that his plea of guilty was involuntary, as he had entered it on the advice of his attorney who had assured Tillock that he would be placed on probation if he entered the plea. The motion was heard by a successor judge, the sentencing judge having been disqualified.
