Crimes of Moral Turpitude

(B)

A defendant’s claim that his guilty plea was involuntary because of his inability to speak English was rejected, since the petition to enter the plea was written in both English and Spanish, the defendant was represented by a bilingual counsel who explained the petition in Spanish, and he was assisted by an interpreter at plea and sentencing.[115]
