The following excerpt is from United States ex rel. Burke v. Mancusi, 453 F.2d 563 (2nd Cir. 1971):
Given the totality of circumstances, we hold that petitioner reaffirmed his guilty pleas not because he was incapable of making a voluntary and rational choice, but "because in his view he had absolutely nothing to gain by a trial and much to gain by pleading." North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25, 37 (1970).
