Most-quoted passages

“allege any misunderstanding as to the nature of the charges to which he pled.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“A. In a felony case, the court shall not accept a plea of guilty or nolo contendere without first addressing the defendant personally in open court and informing him of, and determining that he understands, all of the following: (1) The nature of the charge to which the plea is offered, the mandatory minimum penalty provided by law, if any, and the maximum possible penalty provided by law.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“The Defendant failed to file a motion to withdraw his guilty plea in the lower court. However, in State v. West, 97-1638, p. 2-3 (La.App. 1 Cir. 5/15/98), 713 So.2d 693, 695 , a defendant failed to file a motion to withdraw his guilty plea and the first circuit stated that “... [e]ven Lwhen a formal motion to withdraw a guilty plea is not filed, the Louisiana Supreme Court has held that a constitutionally infirm guilty plea may be set aside either by means of an appeal or post-conviction relief.” This court, in State v. Jordan, 98-101 (La.App. 3 Cir. 6/3/98) , 716 So.2d 36 , addressed the validity of a defendant’s guilty plea due to the constitutional nature of the Defendant’s argument that his plea was not knowingly and intelligently entered, although the validity of the plea was raised for the first time on appeal because he did not file a motion to withdraw the guilty plea in the trial court. In accordance with Jordan, we will address the validity of his guilty plea even though he has not filed a motion to withdraw his guilty plea.”
