REDEFINITION OF THE CONCEPTS OF VOLUNTARINESS AND INTELLIGENCE IN PLEADING, AND ITS EFFECTS ON FEDERAL HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS.
Abstract
THREE SUPREME COURT CASES-MCMANN V. RICHARDSON, BRADY V. UNITED STATES, PARKER V. NORTH CAROLINA-NARROW THE POSSIBILITY OF OBTAINING HABEAS CORPUS HEARINGS. THE COURT DECIDED THAT AN ACCUSED WHO PLEADED GUILTY WITH THE ADVICE OF REASONABLY COMPETENT COUNSEL, EVEN IF MOTIVATED BY A COERCED CONFESSION OR FEAR OF A HARSH SENTENCE, RELINQUISHED HIS RIGHT TO REVIEW.
