243 Ga. 539; 256 S.E.2d 381; 1979 Ga. LEXIS 981

Shelton v. Hopper

Opinion of the Court

Per curiam.

The record supports the superior court’s determination that Shelton’s guilty plea to voluntary manslaughter was freely and voluntarily entered, and that his attorney competently represented him. Appellant has failed to show error in connection with any subsequent attempt, after sentencing, to withdraw the guilty plea.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
