Hinton v. State
Hinton v. State
Opinion of the Court
AFTER REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA
The appellant, Terry Lee Hinton, pleaded guilty to the offenses of robbery in the third degree, a violation of § 13A-8-43, Code of Aabama 1975, and kidnapping in the second degree, a violation of § 13A-6-44. We reversed the judgment and remanded this cause to the Circuit Court for Mobile County so that the appellant, who had been misinformed about the range of sentence he faced by pleading guilty, could have the opportunity to withdraw his guilty plea. Hinton v. State, 668 So.2d 48 (Aa.Cr.App. 1993). We held that because the appellant had been misinformed about the sentence range, his sentence was void. The Supreme Court of Aabama in Hinton v. State, 668 So.2d 49 (Aa. 1994), held that the appellant’s sentence was not void.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
