These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 52 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`serve as a technical trap for conscientious trial judges who conduct a thorough inquiry into the validity of the plea. . . .'”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“Here, although the trial court did not enumerate the elements required to prove guilt, defendant had previously been arraigned on a bill of information charging a $1,500 robbery of two named persons with a pistol. Further, a preliminary examination had been held, at which evidence of the robbery had apparently been presented. Then at the plea defendant and his attorney both represented to the trial court that defense counsel had explained and that defendant understood the nature of the crime to which he was pleading. Under these circumstances, the trial court did not err in accepting the guilty plea.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Thomas“to adopt a per se rule declaring invalid guilty pleas which are entered voluntarily upon advice of counsel (and upon both defendant's and counsel's representation that defendant was aware of the elements of the offense) because the judge himself failed to canvass the elements on the record with defendant.”
