Discuss the process of withdrawing a guilty plea and appealing a guilty plea. Be sure to use case examples to explain the process

Withdrawals can be made if the plea was coerced, if the prosecution fails to fulfill its end of the bargain, or if there was unconstitutional conduct. For example, Minnesota v. Larry Edwin Craig.
Appeals can happen after withdrawals have been denied and is usually done as a "direct appeal." For example, McCarthy v. United States.
