1. ““Appellant also claims error in the trial court’s failure to inform him of the right to plead not guilty. We cannot help but observe that the right against self-incrimination (a right the defendant was advised he was waiving) encompasses the right not to convict oneself by an admission of guilt. “In the instant case, the defendant was represented at all times by counsel, and initially entered a plea of ‘not guilty’, and had changed his plea to ‘guilty’ as part of a plea bargain with the prosecutor. Furthermore, we note that appellant has made no claim that he was unaware of this right or that he was somehow prejudiced by the trial court’s failure to so inform him. A review of the entire record convinces us that the appellant was both informed and aware of his right to plead not guilty.””
