There is a physician in Arkansas that was allowed to plead "no contest" to 3 counts of diverting a controlled substance by fraud (he was esentially stealing drugs from his patients). 2 years AFTER adjudication, he was allowed to withdraw this plea of "no contest" and enter a plea of "not gulity".
Question: How (or when) can a plea of "no contest" which was accepted by the court, be withdrawn under the law?
How can a person change their plea if there were no problems with the original judgment (the defendant understood the plea, etc.)?
What is the statute of limitations in Arkansas for trying a drug case, and now that he just changed his plea (two years after the charges) will he still be tried?
Thank you for your help.
