State v. Williamson, 21965 (9-19-2008)

Summary

The defendant appealed his conviction and sentence after pleading guilty to gross sexual imposition and rape of a child. He argued the trial court erred in denying his pre-sentence motion to withdraw his pleas and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. The appellate court affirmed, holding that although the trial court applied the wrong standard, the error was harmless, and the defendant's ineffective assistance claim lacked merit.
