The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Ismael Garcia, Appellant
July 9, 199892 N.Y.2d 869

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the defendant's guilty plea was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary despite alleged misinformation about the maximum sentence. The Court reasoned that such misinformation is a factor but not dispositive of voluntariness.
