A: You can make a motion to set aside your plea. It is up to the court as to whether to rehear it or not.

A: I would think you will have a tough time getting that reheard but it will be up to the judge. I practice in front of judges who are good about putting everything on the record to make sure the plea of guilty is entered freely and voluntarily and without coercion but the decision will be up to the judge.
