A valid guilty plea is a judicial admission of all facts charged by the indictment or information. [Citations omitted] A valid plea of guilty is conclusive as to guilt. [Citations omitted] It is a waiver of trial, [citations omitted] and obviates the necessity of the prosecution coming forward with evidence." Clark v.
