PEOPLE v. MEACHEM

The court properly denied defendant's motion to withdraw his plea of guilty. The record of the plea demonstrates that the plea was knowingly and voluntarily entered after defendant, with the assistance of counsel, had been advised of the strength of the People's case and time to consider the reduced sentences offered under the terms of the plea. We also find that the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it imposed the negotiated sentences.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Milonas, Rosenberger, Ross and Asch, JJ.
