Rebecca Jones appeals her conviction, following an Alford plea, of first-degree arson. She argues her counsel rendered ineffective assistance in allowing her to plead guilty absent a sufficient factual basis to support the charge and failing to file a motion in arrest of judgment to challenge the plea. OPINION HOLDS: Jones’s plea to arson in the first degree enjoys a factual basis. Consequently, we conclude counsel did not render ineffective assistance in allowing her to plead guilty or in failing to challenge the plea by way of a motion in arrest of judgment. We affirm Jones’s conviction.
