AC44701 - State v. Hurdle (Alford doctrine; robbery in the first degree; conspiracy to
commit robbery in the first degree; “The defendant claims that the trial court
improperly (1) determined that it lacked the authority, in accordance with
General Statutes § 18-98d, to award him presentence confinement credit, (2)
accepted his guilty pleas and denied his subsequent motion for jail credit or
to withdraw his pleas, despite his contention that there was never a ‘meeting
of the minds’ regarding the terms of his plea agreement with the state, and (3)
violated his constitutional rights by failing to advise him during his plea
canvass that his guilty pleas would operate as a waiver of his right to a trial
by jury. We affirm the judgment of conviction.”)
