“The main purpose of the accuracy requirement is to protect a defendant from pleading guilty to a more serious offense than he could be convicted of were he to insist on his right to trial.... The purpose of the voluntariness requirement is to insure that the defendant is not pleading guilty because of improper pressures. The purpose of the requirement that the plea be intelligent is to insure that the defendant understands the charges, understands the rights he is waiving by pleading guilty, and understands the consequences of his plea.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The usual way in which the factual basis requirement is satisfied is for the court to ask the defendant to express in his own words what happened. The defendant’s statement usually will suggest questions to the court which then, with the assistance of counsel, can interrogate the defendant in further detail.”
