Description
Oliver B. Turner, the appellant, was charged with nineteen counts of obtaining money under false pretences, to which he entered pleas of not guilty. After numerous continuances the case was set for trial and a jury empanelled. The next day, May 20, 1970, in the absence of the jury, the appellant with his counsel present, changed his pleas of not guilty to guilty. Following several continuances to obtain a pre-sentence investigation, the trial court on August 13, 1970, denied a motion by appellant's counsel to withdraw as appellant's counsel, denied appellant's motion to withdraw his pleas of guilty to the nineteen counts, and entered judgment of conviction against defendant, sentencing him to serve fourteen years in the penitentiary on each count, with the sentences to run concurrently. From this judgment of conviction, appellant has appealed. The appellant makes only one assignment of error on this appeal, which is that the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to allow appellant to withdraw his pleas of guilty. He now contends that the pleas of guilty came about as a result of a subtle psychological coercion and fear caused by the tenuous surrounding circumstances of the case.
