Criminal Procedure — plea withdrawal

Timothy Finley, Jr., appeals a judgment of conviction and an order denying his postconviction motion for plea withdrawal or sentence commutation. Finley argues he made a prima facie showing that his plea was not knowing and voluntary because he was not accurately apprised of the maximum potential sentence. Because Finley was significantly misinformed of the potential penalty, we reverse the order and remand for further proceedings. This opinion will not be published.
