P. v. Smith CA2/5
Penal Code section 1473.6 authorizes courts to vacate a criminal judgment based on newly discovered evidence of fraud or misconduct by a government official. We consider whether the trial court correctly denied defendant and appellant William Smith’s (defendant’s) section 1473.6 motion, which argued defense counsel and the trial court failed to properly advise him of his rights before he pled guilty.
