It was also sufficient to sustain judgment entered upon defendant\u2019s plea of nolo contendere to the lesser included offense of voluntary manslaughter. Appellant\u2019s contention to the contrary is without merit.\nDefendant was represented in the trial court and on this appeal by court-appointed counsel who, so the record indicates, has been diligent in his behalf. Before accepting defendant\u2019s plea, the able trial judge carefully examined defendant and found that his plea was freely, understandingly and voluntarily made. Defendant\u2019s signed transcript of plea supports these findings. The acceptance of the plea will not be disturbed on this appeal. A careful review of the entire record reveals\nNo error.\nJudges Brock and Morris concur.",
