California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Fleming, E048128, No. FVI800945 (Cal. App. 2010):
judgments may be made that in the light of later events seem improvident, although they were perfectly sensible at the time. The rule that a plea must be intelligently made to be valid does not require that a plea be vulnerable to later attack if the defendant did not correctly assess every relevant factor entering into his decision." (Brady v. United States (1970) 397 U.S. 742, 756-757 [90 S.Ct. 1463, 25 L.Ed.2d 747].)
