Abstract
This Note deals specifically with one particular aspect of the plea bargaining process in Nebraska: whether a criminal defendant has the right to withdraw a plea of guilty or nolo contendere entered pursuant to a plea bargain. In State v. Evans, the Nebraska Supreme Court held that not only is there no right to withdraw a guilty plea entered upon a plea bargain, but, absent a manifest injustice, it is improper for a trial judge to permit the withdrawal of a plea of guilty. This Note discusses the implications of this decision and examine alternatives which merit serious consideration.
