Criminal Procedure – Plea withdrawal

Robert Lee Hamilton appeals an order denying his motion to withdraw his plea. He argues that: (1) he was not advised of, and was unaware of, the three-year presumptive minimum penalty for two of the counts to which he pled; (2) he was not advised of, and was not aware of, the meaning of ?utter disregard,? an element of one of the charges to which he pled; (3) he did not understand the maximum potential penalty he faced due to incorrect advice from his lawyer; and (4) he received constitutionally ineffective assistance from his lawyer. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
