T. M. Kavanagh, C. J.
Defendant alleges he entered an uncounseled plea of guilty because he believed the coerced confession, the extended interrogations and the polygraph examinations he had taken made it an impossible case to defend.
The Attorney General, the official representative of the plaintiff in all criminal cases*, that is, the people of the State of Michigan, has in open court, at oral argument, formally confessed that the trial court erred in refusing to grant an evidentiary hearing to determine the fact questions; therefore It is ordered, that the above entitled cause be remanded to the trial court for the holding of an evidentiary hearing. See Pennsylvania v. Claudy (1956), 350 US 116 (76 S Ct 223, 100 L Ed 126); McMann v. Richardson (1970), 397 US 759 (90 S Ct 1441, 25 L Ed 2d 763).
