Marvin Northington pleads no contest; judge sentences him to nine months and $150 fine
Summary
Marvin Northington entered a no-contest plea to one count as part of a negotiated disposition; the court accepted the plea, imposed a nine-month jail term concurrent with other sentences, ordered a $150 fine plus costs, and dismissed remaining counts per the agreement.
Marvin Northington entered a plea of no contest under a negotiated agreement and the court accepted the plea after the prosecution outlined the evidence the state would present at trial. The prosecutor described the state's case and the factual basis for the plea; the defendant acknowledged understanding his rights, including the right to a jury trial and the consequences of waiving that right.
"Then Marvin Norrington, the document 15153 upon your plea of no contest account 2, finds you guilty, sentenced you to 9 months in the... Humphreys County Jail," the judge announced, imposing the term to run concurrently with existing sentences and ordering a $150 fine plus court costs while dismissing the other counts in the indictment.
The record reflects the defendant and defense counsel confirmed the plea was voluntary and that the defendant understood the rights he waived by pleading. The court explained that a no-contest plea would lead to a conviction and that the defendant retained limited appeal rights consistent with plea practice. The court also explained pre-sentence jail credit calculation reflected in the agreement.
