Clouse v. Smith

Utah Supreme Court

Decided March 13, 1974

Utah Supreme Court · decided 1974-03-13

Decided 1974-03-13

HENRIOD, Justice:

¶1Appeal from a writ of habeas corpus petition. Affirmed.

¶2Defendant pleaded guilty to burglary. He was represented by counsel at the time, who advised the court he was of the opinion defendant knowingly and voluntarily was entering such plea. This conclusion was fortified by answers of defendant to numerous questions asked by the court, obviously posed to protect defendant’s rights. Consequently, and based on the record, we conclude defendant’s sole point on appeal to be lacking in merit.

CALLISTER, C. J., and ELLETT, CROCKETT and TUCKETT, JJ., concur.
