Clyburn v. State
16 S.E.2d 442 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1941
The court did not err in denying the motion of the defendant for permission to withdraw his plea of guilty, made after the imposition of the sentence. There was no abuse of discretion in the denial of the motion.
A plea of guilty may be withdrawn as a matter of right before sentence is imposed, but after sentence is pronounced on such plea the right to withdraw it rests within the sound legal discretion of the trial judge. Sanders v. State,
Judgment affirmed. Broyles, C. J., and MacIntyre, J.,concur. *748
