The appellant appealed his conviction for criminal harassment and breach of probation, seeking to withdraw his guilty plea on the basis that he was pressured by his trial counsel.
The Court of Appeal found that the plea was voluntary, informed, and unequivocal, noting the appellant's familiarity with the process and the time elapsed between his decision and the actual plea.
The court also declined to admit the appellant's affidavit as fresh evidence, finding it lacked credibility under the Palmer test.
The appeal was dismissed.
