P. v. Monplaisir
Defendant and appellant Donald Joseph Monplaisir appeals after he pleaded no contest to 12 counts of committing a lewd and lascivious act on a child under age 14 (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (c)(1)), and 36 counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor (Pen. Code, § 261.5, subd. (c), (d)). He contends that he should be entitled to withdraw his plea, because he was mistakenly told that he would be able to appeal the denial of his speedy trial motion. The People concede that defendant should be afforded the opportunity to withdraw his plea. We reverse and remand with directions.
