Notes of Decisions
Petitioner failed to demonstrate that trial counsel’s failure to get information under this section prejudiced petitioner because petitioner did not offer evidence that he would have withdrawn guilty plea in response to information he could have obtained under this section. Trujillo v. Maass, 312 Or 431, 822 P2d 703 (1991)
Where trial court rejected defendant’s guilty plea to violation based solely on court’s blanket policy of not permitting defendants charged with misdemeanors to plead guilty to violations, court failed to properly exercise discretion under this section, which requires that court give plea agreement “due consideration” before deciding whether or not to accept plea. State v. Justice, 273 Or App 457, 361 P3d 39 (2015)
