Description
In this case we resolve conflicts in our cases that have existed for over 75 years on the question of a defendant's changing a plea of guilty to a plea of not guilty when evidence that is inconsistent with guilt is introduced in a jury trial. We hold that a defendant has a right on timely request to change the plea, but that a court has no duty to do it on the court's own motion.
