Guilty plea withdraw

STATE v. FRAZIER

DA 06-0271

2007 MT 40

2/13/2007

The Justice Court’s interrogation was inadequate to determine whether there was

any factual basis for Frazier’s guilty plea. Since any doubts as to whether a plea was
voluntary should be resolved in favor of the defendant, we hold that the District Court erred by not allowing Frazier to withdraw his guilty plea. Therefore, we reverse and remand this matter to the District Court for further proceedings consistent with this Opinion.
