“In his second and third grounds of error, appellant complains that the trial court abused its discretion in adjudicating his guilt and revoking probation by, first, considering an inadequate oral stipulation regarding the testimony of the chemist, and, second, because there was insufficient evidence that appellant knowingly possessed the controlled substance.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Eatmon v. State“... where the record indicates that the defendant has received an admonishment with respect to punishment, although not a complete one, there is a prima facie showing of a knowing and voluntary plea of guilty. The burden then shifts to the defendant to show that he entered the plea without understanding the consequences of his action and thus was harmed.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Eatmon v. State“However, where the defendant decides to withdraw his guilty plea after the trial judge takes the case under advisement or pronounces judgment, the withdrawal of such plea is within the sound discretion of the trial court.
