District Court of Appeal of Florida

Summary denial of a motion for postconviction relief is reversed in part pursuant to a facially sufficient claim that defendant's plea was involuntary and coerced by threats of trial counsel, shortly before trial, that if defendant did not accept the state's plea offer, counsel would abandon him.
