A Prichard man accused in a string of pharmacy heists claims his lawyer pressured him to plead guilty to federal charges.
. In a recent court filing, his current attorney laid out the case for withdrawing the plea, which federal courts generally do not allow.
Fleming wrote that his client’s attorney at the time pressured him for hours before he agreed to sign the plea agreement. Howell pleaded guilty in July to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute drugs, robbery and brandishing a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. His written plea agreement detailed four pharmacies that he either burglarized or robbed.
Fleming also argued that prosecutors and the defense lawyer misinformed Howell about the possible penalty he faced if he pleaded guilty. He pointed to the plea agreement, which states that the penalty for brandishing a weapon during a drug trafficking crime was seven years on top of whatever prison term he received for the other counts. But the actual penalty, Fleming wrote, was seven years to life in prison.
