1. “"where [defense] counsel [in a criminal case], for the avowed and singular purpose of preserving his client's right to appeal the trial court's denial of a motion to suppress the [accused's] confession [or the fruits of a police search and seizure], stipulates that the court determine the [accused's] guilt solely on facts proffered by the prosecutor; and where such proffered facts, to which no legal defense is made, establish beyond dispute the [accused's] guilt of the crime charged in the [charging document]; the proceedings, which predictably and immediately concluded with [a finding or] an adjudication of [guilt or] delinquency, are a mere substitution for, and the functional equivalent of, a nolo contendere plea, requiring, therefore, that in accordance with Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 , 89 S.Ct. 1709 , 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969), the record reflect that the [accused] was informed of and knowingly and intelligently waived the constitutional rights normally incident to a trial."”
