Park made the ruling Wednesday after listening to Michael D. Norton, 30, explain why he wanted to have a trial rather than plead guilty. Norton was supposed to be sentenced last Thursday and instead is expected to be sentenced today. The recommendation is to send Norton to prison.

He said he tried in touch with his attorney for a few weeks but he was tied up in a murder trial and was unavailable. to get Herald Senior Reporter At the hearing Wednesday, Norton said he pleaded guilty to three of eight charges because "at the time emotional problems and financial problems were quite devastating." He said he thought pleading guilty would solve the problems "It hasn't solved my problems and I'm not guilty. I want my day in court. ' ' He said he knew it was mistake to enter the plea later that day after In cross examination from prosecutor Jim Taylor, Norton admitted he understood what he was doing, knew that he had to pay $1 7,000 in restitution and admitted no one coerced or forced him. ; He insisted he had not seen the sentencing recommendation for prison until after he asked to withdraw his plea. Musselman verified that he too did not know the recommendation until after the motion was filed. Taylor argued that Norton had received no treatment for mental problems and there was no indication Norton had any more serious emotional distress than any other defendant. Park said the case certainly appeared that Norton wanted to withdraw his plea because of the prison recommendation. He said the attorneys may need to take more time with the clients, explaining the situation and giving them time to think. He said every defendant is emotionally upset and 99 percent have financial problems. These, howev- er, "are not sufficiently good cause to allow him to change his plea."
