188 S.E.2d 799 (Ga. 1972)

Opinion

27082.

SUBMITTED MARCH 13, 1972.

DECIDED APRIL 6, 1972.

Habeas corpus. Butts Superior Court. Before Judge Sosebee.

Donald W. Grant, pro se. Arthur K. Bolton, Attorney General, Harold N. Hill, Jr., Executive Assistant Attorney General, Courtney Wilder Stanton, Dorothy T. Beasley, Assistant Attorneys General, for appellee.


Where as here, the evidence upon the habeas corpus proceeding authorized the finding that the petitioner was represented by competent counsel, and the record affirmatively shows that the petitioner was fully advised of his rights and voluntarily and intelligently entered a plea of guilty, the judgment remanding him to custody of the respondent was not error. Compare Laidler v. Smith, 227 Ga. 759 ( 182 S.E.2d 891); Purvis v. Connell, 227 Ga. 764 ( 182 S.E.2d 892); Mack v. Yeomans, 228 Ga. 223 ( 184 S.E.2d 648).

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.

SUBMITTED MARCH 13, 1972 — DECIDED APRIL 6, 1972.
