Changing a Plea

If a criminal suspect has changed his or her mind about how he or she wishes to plead, he or she must tell the criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. The defense attorney will explain to the court that the client wishes to change the plea. The judge will enter another plea colloquy with the client to make sure that the change of mind was not due to duress, coercion, or any other undue influence over the client. It is not uncommon that a suspect enters a plea without fully understanding the consequences of the plea. Some clients feel pressure to enter a guilty plea when they have a better chance of a positive result entering a not guilty plea. Consult the attorney for his or her advice, but the client makes the ultimate decision.
