“Q. Mr. Atkins, I’m going to now ask you a series of questions from this Transcript of Plea. If you would please speak up so the Court Reporter over here can make a notation for the record, it would be appreciated. First of all, are you able to hear and understand me? A. Yes, sir. Q. Do you understand you have the right to remain silent and any statement you make may be used against you? A. Yes, sir. Q. Are you under the influence of any alcohol, drugs, narcotics, medicines, pills, or any other intoxicants? A. No. Q. Have you discussed your case fully with your attorneys, and are you satisfied with their services? A. Yes, sir. Q. Do you understand that you’re pleading guilty to the felony of first-degree premeditated and deliberated murder? A. Yes. Q. And that there are two parts to a potential capital case, the guilt or innocence phase and the sentencing phase, do you understand that? A. Yes, sir. Q. Have the charges been explained to you by your lawyer, do you understand the nature of the charges, and do you understand each and every element of the charge? A. Yes, sir. Q. Do you understand that upon your plea, depending upon the sentencing phase, that the jury could recommend life or death as the verdict? A. Yes, sir. Q. Do you understand you have the right to plead not guilty, to have a jury trial, and at the trial to confront and cross examine the witnesses against you, and by this plea you’re giving up all of your other Constitutional Rights, as well as your confrontation”
