People v. Williams

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 30, 1988
145 A.D.2d 672 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

December 30, 1988

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Rosato, J.).


Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.

The trial court properly exercised its discretion in denying the defendant's motion to withdraw his pleas of guilty. The record reveals that the defendant voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently entered his pleas of guilty (see, People v Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9) and that he readily made full factual allocutions admitting his guilt of the crimes (see, People v Parilla, 135 A.D.2d 745, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 1009). The defendant's bald assertions of innocence and coercion were properly rejected (see, People v Doherty, 134 A.D.2d 513; People v Stubbs, 110 A.D.2d 725).

The defendant's claim that he was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel due to his attorney's purported failure to investigate certain alibi witnesses and to secure a medical report to establish that his inculpatory statements were obtained through coercion is dehors the record. We have examined the defendant's other arguments in this regard and find that they are without merit. Thompson, J.P., Rubin, Spatt and Balletta, JJ., concur.
