No. 92,512.

153 P.3d 1208 (2007)

STATE of Kansas, Appellee, v. Larry SHOPTEESE, Jr., Appellant.

Supreme Court of Kansas.

March 16, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lydia Krebs, assistant appellate defender, argued the cause, and Patrick H. Dunn, assistant appellate defender, was on the brief for appellant.

Kevin M. Hill, county attorney, argued the cause, and Phill Kline, attorney general, was with him on the brief for appellee.


The opinion of the court was delivered by BEIER, J.:

This appeal arises from the district court's denial of defendant Larry Shopteese, Jr.'s motion to withdraw his no contest pleas to one count of first-degree murder and one count of aggravated burglary. Shopteese asserts that his marginal I.Q., coupled with his unmedicated mental illness, rendered his pleas involuntary.
