“A defendant personally or by counsel orally may plead guilty.... The court shall not accept a plea of guilty without first: (1) determining that the plea is made voluntarily with understanding of the nature of the charge, and (2) explaining fully to the defendant his right to trial by jury, his right to counsel, and the possible penalty provided by statute for the offense charged.
