What is the test for denying a defendant's right to plead guilty to a charge of perverting the course of justice?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Perez, H036037 (Cal. App. 2011):
words or through his attorney to support a grant of probation. "Perhaps the judge could have chosen better words, but the Constitution is not violated by a mere slip of the tongue." (Burr v. Pollard, supra, 546 F.3d 828, 832.) We conclude that this was not punishment for invoking the right to remain silent or for refusing to confess. Under these circumstances, we further conclude that defense counsel was not required to object to the court's statement and that defendant was not prejudiced by the lack of an objection.
