Attempted Assault - Plea Withdrawal Granted - Early Release From Prison

W. C. was placed on probation for Attempt Assault with Intent to Commit Sexual Penetration. He later pleaded guilty to violation of probation and was sentenced to 2 to 5 years in the Michigan Department of Corrections. Mitch appealed Mr. C's conviction for violation of probation. The guilty plea to violation of probation was not taken properly and Mitch persuaded the Genesee County Circuit Court Judge to allow Mr. C. to withdraw his guilty plea to violation of probation and allow him to have a hearing. Once the plea was withdrawn, Mr. C 's 2 to 5 year prison sentence was vacated. Mr. C. was later discharged from probation and released from prison. The plea withdrawal allowed him to gain his freedom about 3 years ahead of schedule.
