Beasley v. State
Beasley v. State
Opinion of the Court
Beasley appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief. We reverse for further proceedings.
Beasley claims that he entered a negotiated plea to the offense of aggravated battery with great bodily harm while armed.
We cannot discern from the record whether Beasley agreed solely to the three-year prison term or whether the plea agreement permitted the additional conditions. If Beasley’s claim is true, the trial court should have given him an opportunity to withdraw his plea. See Warren v. State, 572 So.2d 10 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990). The trial court’s order of denial does not conclusively refute Beasley’s claim. We therefore reverse and remand to the trial court to either hold an evidentiary hearing or attach portions of the record refuting Beasley’s claim.
