P. v. Jackson CA4/2
Defendant Corin Roy Jackson, Sr. was charged in one case with crimes arising out of his physical attacks on his wife and children. He was also charged in a separate case with a crime arising out of his physical attack on a fellow inmate in jail.
Defendant pleaded guilty to all charges and admitted all enhancements. At sentencing, however, he made a Marsden motion (see People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118), seeking to have new counsel appointed for the purpose of filing a motion to withdraw the plea; he asserted that his current counsel had rendered ineffective assistance by, among other things, giving him bad advice in connection with the plea. The trial court denied the motion and proceeded with sentencing.
