Reply To: Pollard in light of Missouri v. Frye, 10-444 and Lafler v. Cooper, 10-209

Thank you artchill.

If Pollard wasn’t advised of Rule 11 C 1 A&C then he “received constitutionally defective advice from counsel during plea bargain negotiations”.

Of course the court ruled that if a defendant rejects a plea deal because of defective advice then a defendant is entitled to relief.

In this case it is possible that Pollard accepted a plea deal based on defective advice.
