00-3438-CR, 00-3439-CR State v. Thompson

Listen to this article

Michael Thompson appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after he pled guilty to one count of armed robbery, party to a crime. He also appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after he pled no contest to one count of robbery with threat of force, guilty to one count of operating a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent, and guilty to one count of fleeing from an officer. He further appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion to withdraw his pleas or, in the alternative, to be resentenced. Thompson claims: (1) that his sentence should be reversed because he was denied the right to counsel at a show-up identification and that he should receive a hearing because the show-up identification was impermissibly suggestive; (2) that this court should remand his cases for an evidentiary hearing because the plea colloquies were inadequate; (3) that his pleas should be withdrawn because he was incompetent to enter them; (4) that his pleas should be withdrawn because they were coerced; (5) that the prosecutor breached the plea bargain by asking for a read-in and because statements made at sentencing violated the plea bargain; (6) that his pleas should be withdrawn because the court failed to inform him that a lawyer may discover defenses or mitigating circumstances; and (7) that his trial counsel was ineffective for various reasons discussed below.

We affirm.
