People v. Webley
Opinion of the Court
—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant was convicted upon his plea of guilty of two counts of murder in the second degree (Penal Law § 125.25 [1]) and sentenced in accordance with the plea bargain to consecutive terms of imprisonment. The record establishes that the guilty plea was knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently entered (see, People v Fiumefreddo, 82 NY2d 536, 543). Defendant contends that the guilty plea was defective because during the colloquy he indicated facts giving rise to a possible justification defense. Defendant, however, informed County Court at the time of the plea that he had discussed that possible defense with his attorney (see, People v Johnson, 91 AD2d 782, 783).
Furthermore, the court did not abuse its discretion in summarily denying defendant’s motion to withdraw the guilty plea
