“. It would appear that the descriptions, as above recited, when used by the various courts, very aptly and accurately express the exact judicial meaning of the term”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Flynn v. State · Emmons v. State““The State of Indiana advances the proposition that appellant’s plea of guilty constituted a judicial confession of the crime charged, and that a conviction grounded upon such a plea is as conclusive as a jury’s verdict. In support of this contention the State cites the cases of Kuhn v. State (1944), 222 Ind. 179 , 52 N. E. 2d 491 ; Harshman v. State (1953), 232 Ind. 618 , 115 N. E. 2d 501 . We agree that those cases substantially support the State’s position as to the nature and effect of a plea of guilty. However, the matter does not end there. We are of the opinion that in light of such a rule, it becomes the increasingly important duty of the courts of this state, when faced with a timely motion to withdraw a plea of guilty, to examine carefully the proceedings had at arraignment to determine whether all the rights of a defendant who pleaded guilty without the advice of legal counsel were zealously guarded and freely extended. Further, we hold that in instances where a timely motion to withdraw the plea has been filed, the trial court’s concern should not be directed solely to the question of the court’s own legal justification in originally accepting the plea of guilty.””
