MORE INFO NEEDED
SINCE PUBLIC DEFENDER REPRESENTED HIM IT IS THE OFFICE THAT HAD HIM AS A CLIENT.
THEY SHOULD ASSIGN ANOTHER PD TO CLEAN UP ANY PROBLEM.
EVERY COURT IS DIFFERENT......IN INDIO COURT HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO SIGN PLEA FORMS THAT ADVISED AND WAIVES CERTAIN RIGHTS. IN ADDITION THE JUDGE WOULD READ THEM BEFORE IMPOSING SENTENCE.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN NERVOUS AND NOT BEEN AWARE.
