P. v.Thompson
Joseph Emmannuell Thompson pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property (Pen. Code,[1] § 496d), and now appeals the denial of his motion to withdraw his plea. Thompson contends the court abused its discretion in denying the motion because (1) his plea was coerced and offered as a package deal with that of his codefendant brother, Michael Thompson;[2] and (2) he received ineffective assistance of counsel, who failed to advise him fully of the consequences of his plea and improperly negotiated it in the presence of Michael and Michael's counsel. We affirm the judgment.
