1. “(3) Determining the Factual Basis for a Plea. Before entering judgment on a guilty plea, the court must determine that there is a factual basis for the plea. (4) Acknowledgment by Defendant. Before entering judgment on a guilty plea, the court must determine that the defendant either: (A) acknowledges facts exist that support the guilty plea; or (B) while maintaining innocence, acknowledges that the guilty plea is knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently made by the defendant and that evidence exists from which the trier of fact could reasonably conclude that the defendant committed the crime.”
