Without an evidentiary hearing, appellants are effectively denied due process of law as well as their respective liberty. Thus, we vacate the circuit court&#8217;s September 2, 2020, orders denying these Motions to Vacate and remand for the circuit court to conduct evidentiary hearings upon each motion to vacate. To prevail upon their claims of actual innocence under CR 60.02(f), appellants must demonstrate that Constable Wallace and\/or Constable Baldock, in fact, planted drugs and\/or weapons that resulted in appellants&#8217; guilty pleas to specific offenses for which they allege their innocence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defendants moved to vacate guilty pleas for drug possession after the officers involved were federally indicted for planting drugs on suspects.
