“analogous to a direct appeal for a pleading defendant.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissente.g. State v. Smith · State v. Smith“Our constitution guarantees that in “criminal prosecutions, the accused shall have ... the right to appeal in all cases.” A defendant normally may exercise that right through a direct appeal. But under Ariz.R.Crim.P. 17.1(e) and 27.8(e), a defendant in a noncapital case who pleads guilty or admits a parole violation waives the right to a direct appeal. In accord with art. 2, § 24, however, those rules specifically allow the defendant to “seek review ... by filing a petition for post-conviction relief pursuant to Rule 32.” ... Thus, for such defendants, including the defendants in the cases before us, a Rule 32 proceeding is the only means available for exer cising the constitutional right to appellate review. As we recently explained, “[tjhat right cannot be waived merely by a plea or admission. ””
