Withdraw Guilty Plea Grounds

Summary

Generally, a defendants guilty plea can be withdrawn if there is evidence of coercion, misrepresentation, or a significant legal error. However, the unrelated crimes of peace officers typically dont qualify as grounds for withdrawal. If the evidence tampering or civil rights abuse directly impacted your case, it might be grounds for withdrawal. The significant delay from indictment to sentencing might be grounds for a speedy trial violation, which could impact your case. The fact that no illegal porn was found on the defendants personal devices, but only on a family computer in a child’s bedroom, could potentially be used as exculpatory evidence. Evidence of officer misconduct, especially if it involves tampering with evidence, could potentially be used to argue for the withdrawal of your guilty plea if it impacted your case.

i pled guilty for * count of possession of child pornography. 1 year after completing senticing, i was charged with failure to register sex offender. All legal in Texas. If I successfully had be guilty plea withdrawn for a new trial, what would happen the the failure to register charge?

If your guilty plea for possession of child pornography is successfully withdrawn and you are granted a new trial, the failure to register as a sex offender charge could potentially be affected. Here’s how:
- Dependency: The failure to register charge is contingent on your initial conviction. If the initial conviction is voided, the basis for the failure to register charge may also be void.
- Dismissal: The court might dismiss the failure to register charge if the original conviction is overturned.
Have you consulted with a lawyer about both charges and their interrelation?

Motion to Withdraw Guilty Plea
Introduction
[Your Name], the Defendant in the above-captioned case, respectfully moves this Court for an order permitting the withdrawal of the guilty plea entered on [Date of Plea]. This motion is based on newly discovered evidence and significant legal errors that have come to light after the plea was entered.
Grounds for Withdrawal
*. Destroyed Evidence:
- Missing body cam footage was crucial to the defense. Only one of two body cam footages was produced during discovery, which raises concerns about evidence tampering and due processviolations.
*. Officer Misconduct:
- Officers involved in the case have been convicted of crimes including evidence tampering and civil rights abuse. This misconduct directly impacts the integrity of the evidence and the fairness of the original plea.
*. Speedy Trial Violation:
- There was a significant delay of *.5 years from indictment to sentencing, potentially violating the Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial.
*. Exculpatory Evidence:
- No illegal material was found on the defendant's personal devices. The illegal content was discovered on a shared family computer located in a child’s bedroom, suggesting lack of possession or control by the defendant.
*. Interrelated Charges:
- The failure to register as a sex offender charge is dependent on the initial conviction. If the guilty plea is withdrawn and the conviction voided, this subsequent charge may also be rendered void.
Legal Basis
The Defendant cites the following cases as precedent for the withdrawal of a guilty plea under similar circumstances:
- Brady v. Maryland (*): Suppression of exculpatory evidence violates due process.
- Giglio v. United States (*): Prosecution must disclose any deals made with witnesses.
