The court's record, as written
061218 Justus v. Commonwealth 06/08/2007 The circuit court abused its discretion in refusing to grant a defendant's motion to withdraw her guilty pleas before sentencing pursuant to Code § 19.2-296, and the Court of Appeals erred in affirming such refusal. Upon review of the record, it is held that the ends of justice would be served in permitting the defendant to withdraw her pleas, where the record shows that the motion was made in good faith and was premised upon a reasonable basis for defenses to the charges. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed, the defendant's convictions are vacated, and the case is remanded.
