Opinion
PELLEGRINO, J.
The defendant, James T. Williams, appeals from the judgment of conviction rendered following his guilty plea under the Alford doctrine1 to the crimes of attempt to commit assault in the second degree in violation of General Statutes §§ 53a-49 and 53a-60, and reckless burning in violation of General Statutes § 53a-114. He claims that the trial court improperly accepted his plea because he was not apprised of the elements of the crimes and, therefore, his plea was not made knowingly and voluntarily. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
