Ex parte Stanford Pritchett.

Supreme Court of Alabama

Decided October 31, 2014No. 1131282Published

1DissentMoore, Chief Justice

The trial court in this case denied Stanford Pritchett’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea. Because, in my view, the Court of Criminal Appeals’ unpublished memorandum affirming the trial court’s judgment, Pritchett v. State (No. CR-13-0438, June 6, 2014), — So.3d - (Ala.Crim.App.2014) (table), conflicts with the Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure and with our precedent on the requirements for a guilty-plea colloquy, I respectfully *322dissent from the denial of Pritchett’s petition for a writ of certiorari.
