Text: On December 14, 1984, Albury filed a motion for postconviction relief, seeking to withdraw his guilty plea. [3] An evidentiary hearing, consisting of four days of testimony, was held between July 17, 1985 and August 21, 1985. Eleven witnesses testified, including Albury, various members of Albury's family, Albury's original defense attorney, the prosecutor, the chief investigating officer in the case, and a medical doctor who had conducted a psychiatric evaluation of Albury in 1980 pursuant to a court order and who also performed a postconviction evaluation of Albury in 1985. The motion was denied by the Superior Court on June 23, 1987. The evidence presented at the hearing on Albury's postconviction motion is the focus of this appeal.
