RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY Initial

  1. I understand that I have the right to be represented by an attorney throughout the proceedings. I understand that

the Court will appoint an attorney for me if I cannot afford to hire one. I understand that there are dangers and disadvantages to giving up my right to an attorney, and that it is almost always unwise to represent myself.

  1. Initial the correct box below: (a). My attorney is present, and I have discussed the charges and possible defenses with my attorney. (b). I give up my right to an attorney, and I choose to represent myself. (Does not apply if you have an attorney) (c). I hereby give up my right to be personally present at all stages of the proceedings and authorize my attorney to appear on my behalf and enter a plea of guilty or no contest, and to admit any alleged prior convictions,, enhancements, special allegations, and/or aggravating factors. I have previously discussed the charges and possible defenses with my attorney. I waive my right to be personally present when sentence is imposed. I waive my right to personally address the court in mitigation of any sentence which might be imposed. My attorney is further authorized and directed to waive time for sentencing, and to receive the sentence, including probation, on my behalf and in my absence. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS/WAIVER OF RIGHTS Initial
  2. Right to a Speedy Jury Trial – I understand that I have the right to a speedy public jury trial on the charge(s) filed against me and on any alleged prior conviction(s). I further understand I have the right to a trial by jury of twelve persons, all of whom must agree to a verdict beyond a reasonable doubt before I may be found guilty. I give up these rights. For a charge of violating probation, I do not have the right to a jury trial, but I do have the right to a hearing before a judge. If applicable, I give up this right.
  3. Right to Produce Evidence – I understand that I have the right to present evidence and to have the court issue subpoenas to bring into court all witnesses and evidence favorable to me, at no cost to me. I give up this right.
  4. Right to Confront and Cross-examine Witnesses – I understand that I have the right to confront and cross- examine all witnesses testifying against me. I give up these rights.
  5. Right against Self-Incrimination and To Testify – I understand that I have the right against self- incrimination, which means the right to remain silent and not incriminate myself, and the right to testify on my own behalf. I understand that by pleading guilty or no contest, or admitting other convictions(s) or probation violation(s), I am incriminating myself. I give up my right to remain silent and not incriminate myself.

CONSEQUENCES OF GUILTY PLEA Initial 7. DUI Advisement – I understand the following: “You are hereby advised that being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both, impairs your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. Therefore, it is extremely dangerous to human life to drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both. If you continue to drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both, and, as a result of that driving, someone is killed, you can be charged with murder.” [VC § 23593] 8. Citizenship – If you are not a citizen of the United States, you are hereby advised that conviction of the offense for which you have been charged may have the consequences of deportation, exclusion from admission to the United States, or denial of naturalization pursuant to the laws of the United States. [PC § 1016.5] 9. Fees and Restitution – I understand that, in addition to the fines indicated on the above penalty charts, the Court will add assessments that will significantly increase the amount I must pay. In addition, I understand that I will be ordered to pay restitution to the victim and a restitution fine, and probation revocation fine, and potentially a parole revocation fine, each of which is not less than $100 up to $1000 (for a misdemeanor) or not less than $300 up to $10,000 (for a felony). Restitution imposed will be enforceable as a civil judgment. [PC § 1202.4] 10. Probation/Parole Revocation – I understand that my plea of guilty may be grounds for revoking probation, parole, mandatory supervision, or post-release community supervision, previously imposed on me in any other case. 11. Multiple Offender Conditions – I understand that multiple convictions for violating any of the above-cited Vehicle Code sections have escalating consequences, as detailed in the penalty charts above. 12. Penalties for violation of sections 14601, 14601.1, 14601.2, or 14601.5: I understand that if I am convicted of a violation of Vehicle Code section 14601.2, or if the charge was for a violation of that section but I am pleading to section 14601, 14601.1, or 14601.5, the Court will order me to install an ignition interlock device (IID) on any vehicle that I own or operate for up to three years. Installation of this device, which prevents the vehicle from starting if I have alcohol in my body, does not authorize me to drive without a valid driver’s license. 13. No measurable amount of alcohol while driving: I understand that if I am placed on probation after a conviction for violating VC §§ 23152 or 23153, it is unlawful for me to drive with any measurable amount of alcohol in my blood and my license may be suspended by the DMV for one year if the test result is .01 percent or greater. 14. Right to appeal - I understand that I have a right to appeal from any judgment of this court. I waive my right of appeal and my right to attack the final judgment by any statutory or non-statutory means, except as to any sentencing error the court may make. 15. I understand that my plea of GUILTY or NO CONTEST may be used as evidence against me with respect to any forfeiture of any property that may be seized in connection with the investigation giving rise to these charges against me. 16. I have not taken any drugs or consumed any alcoholic beverages within 24 hours prior to entering this plea, except_________________, which does not in any way affect my ability to understand the waivers I have given or my knowing and voluntary decision to plead GUILTY or NO CONTEST. I am not impaired at this time by any drug or alcoholic beverage. 17. I understand that the matter of probation and sentence is to be determined solely by the court. The court is not bound by this plea agreement. If the court does not agree with any of the promises or representations stated above, I understand that I will be allowed to withdraw my GUILTY or NO CONTEST plea and proceed to preliminary hearing, if not yet held and applicable, and/or trial. 18. Harvey waiver - I understand and agree that the sentencing judge may consider facts and circumstances underlying the counts dismissed with a Harvey waiver in determining the appropriate sentence (including the amount and recipients of restitution) for the counts to which I am entering a plea. CONSEQUENCES FOR FELONY DUI GUILTY PLEAS Initial 19. I understand that the term of imprisonment described in the charts above must be served in the state prison, county jail or a combination of county jail plus mandatory supervision by the probation department, as required by law. 20. I understand that if I am sentenced to imprisonment in the county jail pursuant to Penal Code Section 1170(h), the court may suspend a portion of that imprisonment and require me to serve it on mandatory supervision by the probation department under terms imposed by the court. If I receive such a split sentence and violate the terms of the mandatory supervision, I may be ordered to serve the balance of the suspended term of imprisonment in custody

I understand that if I violate any condition of probation, I may be sentenced up to the maximum term of imprisonment plus fines described in the charts above. 22. I understand that I may not be granted probation unless the court finds this to be an unusual case in which the interests of justice would best be served by a grant of probation. 23. I understand that if I am sentenced to a term of imprisonment in the state prison, upon release I will be subject to a period of either post release community supervision for up to 3 years (if I am eligible), or state parole for up to _____ years. If I violate the terms of any post release community supervision, or parole, I may be returned to custody as provided by law. 24. I understand I have the right to a preliminary hearing. I waive this right. 25. I understand that my constitutional rights to (1) a preliminary hearing, (2) a speedy, public, jury trial, (3) not make any statements that tend to incriminate me, (4) testify on my own behalf if I so choose, (5) produce, and use the court’s subpoena power to compel the attendance of, witnesses and evidence on my behalf, and (6) confront my accuser(s) and confront and cross-examine any witnesses against me, apply also to any enhancements and special allegations set forth in the Complaint or Information.
