“to form its independent judgment after a review of the record and pleadings and to support its decision by written opinion.”
21 later decisions quote this exact passage““[S]aid plea was not made voluntarily after proper advice from counsel and with a full understanding of the consequences of said plea but rather it was obtained unfairly [through] the ignorance and fear of said affiant.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“If the motion on its face alleges facts which would entitle the defendant to relief, the circuit court has no discretion and must hold an evidentiary hearing. Whether a motion alleges facts which, if true, would entitle a defendant to relief is a question of law that we review de novo. However, if the motion fails to allege sufficient facts, the circuit court has the discretion to deny a postconviction motion without a hearing based on any one of the three factors enumerated in Nelson . When reviewing a circuit court's discretionary act, this court uses the deferential erroneous exercise of discretion standard.”
