Criminal Procedure — plea withdrawal

Gabriella Bernabei appeals judgments of conviction for child neglect and negligently mistreating animals. Bernabei contends that, pre-sentencing, she presented a fair and just reason for plea withdrawal and that the circuit court erred when it denied her plea withdrawal motion. I conclude that the record supports the circuit court’s finding that Bernabei failed to prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, a fair and just reason. Accordingly, I affirm. This opinion will not be published.
