If you’ve pled guilty to a crime in Oklahoma, even if you’re not guilty, you may be wondering if there’s anything you can do about it. Oklahoma City Attorney Aaron Easton addresses this common question in today’s blog post. He explains that many defendants feel pressured to plea guilty in order to avoid harsher penalties, leading them to admit to crimes they didn’t commit. However, there is a possibility to withdraw a plea if it was not knowing and voluntary. Easton discusses the constitutional right to not plead guilty to crimes you’re not guilty for and the criteria that need to be met to prove that the plea was not knowing and voluntary. While it’s a challenging process, consulting with an attorney can help navigate the specifics of your case.
