1. ““We have previously held that the literal import of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 , 89 S.Ct. 1709 , 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969) does not require the express waiver of specific rights. It is sufficient if the record shows that the plea is made voluntarily with understanding of the nature of the charge and the consequences of the plea. Nor do the literal requirements of Federal Rule 11 have to be met, so long as the spirit of the rule is observed, viz. that the court address the defendant personally to determine if his plea is voluntarily and understandingly made. State v. Laurino, 106 Ariz. 586 , 480 P.2d 342 (1971) ; * * * ” 492 P.2d at 392 .”
