P. v. Diblasi
Dennis Diblasi entered a negotiated guilty plea to an aggravated assault charge, and admitted he personally used a deadly weapon while committing the offense. (Pen. Code,[1] 245, subd. (a)(1), 1192.7.) Pursuant to the parties' plea agreement, the court imposed a two-year sentence. ( 245, subd. (a)(1).) Diblasi then unsuccessfully moved to withdraw his plea. On appeal, Diblasi contends: (1) the trial court abused its discretion in denying his motion to withdraw the guilty plea; and (2) his counsel was ineffective because he did not investigate the victim's criminal record before advising him on the plea offer. Court conclude these contentions lack merit and affirm.
