P. v. Bates CA1/3
Jameliah Bates contends the court erred and abused its discretion when it denied her motion to withdraw her no contest plea to one count of committing a lewd or lascivious act on a child of 14 or 15 years old and at least 10 years younger than her. (Pen. Code § 288, subd. (c).) Bates asserts she demonstrated her plea was based on duress and a mistaken understanding of its consequences, and that her attorney was ineffective in failing to investigate and declare a doubt as to her competency. We affirm.
