“' “The courts are careful to see that the plea of guilty is made voluntarily, after proper advice and explanation by the court with a full understanding of its consequences. Kercheval v. United States, 274 U.S. 220, 223 , 47 S.Ct. 582 , 71 L.Ed. 1009 ; Walker v. Johnston, 312 U.S. 275 , 61 S.Ct. 574 , 85 L.Ed. 830 ; Scott v. United States, 6th Cir., 349 F.2d 641, 643 ; and Application of Buccheri, 6 Ariz.App. 196 , 431 P.2d 91 . The question, then, in the instant case, is whether defendant was properly advised of his rights by counsel and by the court and whether there was a proper understanding by defendant of what could happen as a result of his guilty plea.” State v. Jennings, 448 P.2d 59 at page 61.”
