State, 841 So.2d 362, 375 (Fla.2003); see Koenig v. State, 597 So.2d 256 , 257 n. 2 (Fla.1992) (stating that where a death-sentenced defendant pled guilty, “[i]n order to review the judgment of conviction ..., we must review the propriety of [the defendant’s] plea, since it is the plea which formed the basis for his conviction”). “Proper review requires this Court to scrutinize the plea to ensure that the defendant was made aware of the consequences of his plea, was apprised of the constitutional rights he was waiving, and pled guilty voluntarily.” Ocha v. State, 826 So.2d 956, 965 (Fla.2002).”
