Daniel Mcclain v. State Alaska

Daniel McClain entered a plea of no contest to one count of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor. AS 11.41.436(a)(2). Approximately two weeks later, McClain decided he wanted to withdraw his plea. A formal motion was entered about six weeks after the plea had been entered. Superior Court Judge Karl S. Johnstone denied the motion. At sentencing, McClain moved for reconsideration of his motion to withdraw his plea. Judge Johnstone again denied the motion. On appeal, McClain asks this court to reverse the trial courts denial of his motion to withdraw his plea. We affirm Judge Johnstones decision.
