People v. Edwards
People v. Edwards
Opinion of the Court
July 3, 1968, during the course of his jury trial on a charge of robbery armed, CLS 1961, § 750.529 (Stat Ann 1970 Cum Supp § 28.797), defendant offered to plead guilty to larceny from the person, CL 1948, § 750.357 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev § 28.589). After questioning defendant, the trial judge accepted the plea and subsequently, defendant was sentenced.
During interrogation by the judge, defendant indicated he was pleading guilty to taking a wallet and $45 from the complaining witness and that he was pleading guilty because he was guilty. Defendant indicated he was pleading freely, willingly and voluntarily and not because anyone had promised, induced or threatened him. Defendant also indicated he understood the nature of the offense and that the maximum penalty was ten years.
This record does not support defendant’s present contention that GrCR 1963, 785.3(2), was not complied with.
Affirmed.
