  1. State v. West

    326 N.W.2d 316 (Iowa 1982)   Cited 15 times
    Holding that remand for such a hearing was appropriate in the case of statement by the trial court implying sentencing discretion, when no discretion existed, which may have induced defendant's guilty plea

    See State v. Fluhr, 287 N.W.2d 857, 869-70 (Iowa 1980) (dissenting opinion); State v. Reaves, 254 N.W.2d 488, 492 (Iowa 1977). We have come far. Notwithstanding our later retreat, see State v. Griffin, 238 N.W.2d 780, 781 (Iowa 1976), we at one time believed that a defendant should, at the very least, be required to claim innocence in order to set aside a guilty plea. State v. Whitehead, 163 N.W.2d 899, 903 (Iowa 1969).
