Camacho v. State
Annotate this Case
Defendant entered an Alford plea to two counts of second-degree child molestation. Seventeen years later, Defendant filed an application for postconviction relief, arguing that there was not sufficient evidence for the trial justice to support a conclusion that Defendant understood both the nature of the charges and the consequence of the plea, and thus, the plea was not made voluntarily and intelligently. The superior court denied the application. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that there was no basis to vacate Defendant's plea, as Defendant's plea was voluntary, intelligent, and knowing, and Defendant was well aware of the nature of the charges against him at the time he pleaded to them.
