Who is making his way to the podium. Yes, ma'am. And your honor. This is Mister Woods in 23. CF 10339. Mister Woods has authorized me to withdraw his previously entered pleas of not guilty as it relates to count three of the information filed, which is a first degree misdemeanor offense. Mr Woods is authorizing me to enter a plea of guilty simply because he believes it to be in his best interest to do so rather than an admission of guilt with the understanding, he will receive an adjudication of guilt for that misdemeanor offense. He will be sentenced to the time that he's already served in order to pay court costs as well as a state attorney fee. Um, what are the uh misdemeanor or cause? Yes, 33 23 3, 23. And that does that include the, is it $100 cost prosecution? Does that include that or is that extra? I think it should be. So it's 323 including a $100 cost prosecution fee, correct in exchange for his best interest guilty plea as it as to count three of the information, the state of Florida is entering a no process as to counts one and two. And again, Mr Woods is entering this best interest, guilty plea with the acknowledgment that he leaves the state of Florida could prove him to be guilty of this offense from his actions of running from the vehicle. When Detective Sullivan ordered him to stop, I've reviewed the plea form with him. We have executed our signs on the back from the I approach. Yes. Is this the state's recommendation in this case? Your honor, Mr Woods, raise your right hand. Do you? So we swear to affirm to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help you. God. Yes, sir. You can put your hand down. Your name is Lakan Woods. Yes, sir. You've heard what your attorney has said that you wish to plead guilty to the first degree misdemeanor of resisting an officer without violence. The maximum sentence for that could have been up to one year in jail. Is that what you wish to do is plead guilty to that charge? Yes, sir. Have you had enough time to speak to your attorney about what you're doing today? Yes, sir. Are you satisfied with her advice and representation? Yes, sir. You under the influence of any alcohol or drugs this morning? No, sir. Anybody threaten you or promise you anything other than the plea agreement between you, your attorney and the state attorney's office to get you to enter the plea. No, sir. Are you pleading guilty? Because you believe it's in your best interest to do that? Yes, sir. You understand, you can plead not guilty and have a jury trial you're giving up that right. Does a party stipulate to a factual basis? Yes, your honor. Yes, your honor. I will stipulate for purposes of the negotiated agreement. Court finds a factual basis exists for the entry of the plea. Is there any DNA evidence known to exist that would exonerate the defendant? No, that would exonerate the defendant. Your honor, Mr Wood. You understand, if you were not a citizen of the United States, the entry of the plea could result in you being deported. Yes, sir. And you understand if this were a sexually motivated offense or if you've been convicted of one before that the entry of the plea could result in a civil commitment. Yes, sir, Mr Woods, MS Jamieson. Read to you this form, I'm holding up, call plea of guilty. Yes, sir. Do you understand everything on it? Yes, sir. And you signed the form that you understood it? Yes, sir.
