Ellis v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted murder as class A felonies and two counts of attempted robbery resulting in serious bodily injury also as class A felonies. Defendant was sentenced to 100 years’ imprisonment with sixty years suspended to probation for an aggregate sentence of forty years executed. Defendant later filed a petition for post-convcition relief, arguing that his guilty plea was not entered knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily, that the plea lacked a factual basis, and that the trial court erred in accepting the plea. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that Petitioner demonstrated by a preponderance of the evidence that the post-conviction court erred in denying his petition for relief because, at the time Petitioner entered the plea, he also professed his innocence.
