1. “"In our opinion Rule 32 has as its aim the establishment of proceedings to determine the facts underlying a defendant's claim for relief when such facts are not otherwise available. The comments to Rule 32.2 make this clear when they discuss the availability of federal review of state criminal proceedings: `The federal courts will indulge in only limited review of state court rulings on claims of deprivation of federally protected constitutional rights when those claims have been resolved on the merits after an adequate fact-finding inquiry.' (Emphasis added). "When Rule 32.2 is viewed with this aim in mind, we are of the opinion that the preclusion of post-conviction relief under this rule on the ground that the matter is still raisable on direct appeal applies only to those matters in which a sufficient factual basis exists in the record for the appellate court to resolve the matter." State v. Bell, 23 Ariz. App. 169 , 531 P.2d 545, 547 (1975).”
