James Henderson pled guilty to attempted burglary in the second degree and was sentenced to a term of 12 years to life.
When Henderson later sought to withdraw his plea, the New York County Supreme Court denied his request. On appeal, the Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed the outcome because the guy's guilty plea was "knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily entered."
Not only did the record refute his argument that he couldn't hear the court's questions (due to a hearing problem), but Henderson also signed a document which waived his right to appeal.
