20 effect the length of sentence you would be
21 required to serve.
23 A. Yes, sir.
24 THE COURT: What's the factual basis?
25 MR. BUCKLEY: In 2016-466, the

11
1 robbery, the State would show on July 27,
2 2016, this defendant, along with his
3 codefendants, began texting the victim in
4 this case requesting to buy marijuana from
5 him. When the victim arrived to sell them
6 the marijuana, this defendant and others
7 surrounded him and put him in fear of
8 physical bodily injury, robbed him of his
om
9 iPhone and wallet, and this all occurred
.c
10 within Madison County.
ya
11 In 2017-540, the State would show on
12
la
May 18th, 2017, in the early morning hours,
ba
13 this defendant, along with Codefendants
am
14 Byron McBride and Dwan Wakefield, were at
15 the Kroger parking lot off of I-55 Frontage

nj
so
16 located in Hinds County, Mississippi.
17 At that location, Byron McBride stole

ck
18 an automobile. Inside the automobile was a

Ja
19 young child, Kingston Frazier. Byron
20 McBride then drove the vehicle north into
21 Madison County. At that point, D'Allen
22 Washington and Dwan Wakefield were at
23 another location and were informed via
24 phone that there was a child in the back of
25 the car.

12
1 A short time later that night, knowing
2 the child was in the car and the car had
3 been dropped off, these defendants then
4 drove up to that location and picked up
5 Byron McBride knowing he had committed the
6 crime of kidnapping.
7 Later on that evening, this defendant
8 advised Byron McBride when he learned of
om
9 the murder that he needed to get rid of the
.c
10 clothes that he was wearing, so he could
ya
11 avoid arrest, capture, or prosecution; that
12
la
all occurred within Madison County.
ba
13 BY THE COURT:
am
14 Q. Do you have any disagreement with
15 either factual basis?

16 A. No, sir.
17 THE COURT: Do you, Mr. Martin?

ck
18 MR. MARTIN: No, sir, Your Honor.

Ja
19 BY THE COURT:

21 you, or has there been any use of force or
22 intimidation that might have caused you to
23 change your plea from not guilty to guilty?
24 A. No, sir.

13
1 been made to you in return for your changing

9 freely and voluntarily admitting your guilt to
.c
10 the crimes you're pleading guilty to?

11 A. Yes, sir.
12 Q.
la
Are you pleading guilty because you
ba
13 are guilty and for no other reason?
am
14 A. Yes, sir.
15 Q. Do you understand the Court is not

nj
so
16 bound by the plea bargain agreement, but could
17 impose the maximum sentence under both counts

ck
18 consecutive subjecting you to a sentence of

Ja
19 35 years in the penitentiary?
20 A. Yes, sir.
21 THE COURT: Is there a claim for
22 restitution?
23 MR. BUCKLEY: No, Your Honor.

10 Q. Do you have any questions concerning
ya
11 your rights or the crimes you're pleading guilty
12 to?
la
ba
13 A. No, sir.
am
14 THE COURT: What's the recommendation?
15 MR. BUCKLEY: In 2016-466, the

nj
so
16 robbery, Count 1, the State would recommend
17 15 years in the custody of the Mississippi

ck
18 Department of Corrections with the last ten

Ja
19 years suspended, and he be placed on
20 supervised probation for a period of five
21 years, upon such terms and conditions as
22 the Court may deem appropriate, to include
23 the payment of court costs and statutory
24 fees. The State would move to dismiss
25 Count 2, the conspiracy.

15
1 In 2017-45 -- 540, rather, the
2 accessory after the fact to kidnapping, the
3 State would recommend 20 years in the
4 custody of the Mississippi Department of
5 Corrections, released after serving the
6 first 15 years and be placed on five years
7 post-release supervision. The State will
8 recommend this sentence run concurrent to
om
9 the sentence in Madison County Cause
.c
10 No. 2016-466.
ya
11 This recommendation is conditioned
12
la
upon him providing a truthful statement to
ba
13 the District Attorney's Office of the
am
14 events involving the kidnapping and murder
15 of Kingston Frazier and his truthful

nj
so
16 testimony against any and all codefendants.
17 BY THE COURT:
ck
18 Q. Is that the recommendation you

Ja
19 expected to hear?
20 A. Yes, sir.
21 Q. Do you understand that you can't rely
22 on any promise about the percent of your
23 sentence you would be required to serve?
24 A. Yes, sir.
25 Q. At this point, it's not too late to

16
1 stop the hearing, but it will be if I accept
2 your guilty plea. And I want to be certain you
3 want to plead guilty.
4 Do you want to plead guilty?
5 A. Yes, sir.
6 Q. Do you have any questions?
7 A. No, sir.
8 Q. As to 2016-0466, Count 1, and the
om
9 charge of robbery as a lesser-included offense
.c
10 of armed robbery, how do you plead, guilty or
ya
11 not guilty?
12 A. Guilty.
la
ba
13 Q. As to 2017-0540, Count 2, and the
am
14 charge of accessory after the fact to
15 kidnapping, how do you plead, guilty or not

nj
so
16 guilty?
17 A. Guilty.
ck
18 THE COURT: Mr. Martin, do you know of

Ja
19 any reason why the defendant's plea of
20 guilty should not be accepted?
22 THE COURT: The Court finds the
23 defendant's plea of guilty is freely,
24 voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently
25 made and entered, and further finds it has

17
1 a factual basis. The Court, therefore,
2 accepts the defendant's plea of guilty and
3 adjudicates him to be guilty of robbery as
4 a lesser-included offense of armed robbery
5 in 2016-0466, Count 1, and accessory after
6 the fact to kidnapping in 2017-0540, Count
7 2. A Judgment of Conviction will be
8 entered.
om
9 I don't believe there's a need for a
.c
10 PSI. Can I see Counsel up here?
ya
11 (An off-the-record bench conference was held.)
12 THE COURT:
la
All right. I am going to
ba
13 continue sentencing over. I'm going to put
am
14 it for March 26th, 2018, at 9:00. I don't
15 know if the codefendants are in that term

nj
so
16 or when they are, but I'm not going to
17 sentence this defendant until the

ck
18 resolution of the two codefendants. So it

Ja
19 may or may not be continued, but, you know,
20 we can communicate about that --
21 MR. MARTIN: Yes, sir, no objection.
22 THE COURT: -- just to keep it on the
23 docket.
24 Anything further?
25 MR. BUCKLEY: Yes, sir, Your Honor,

18
1 while he's under oath, the State requests
2 permission to question him --
3 THE COURT: All right.
4 MR. BUCKLEY: -- in 2017-0540.
5 THE COURT: All right.
