The defendant needs to understand the charges against him, the penalties that he will face, and his rights before entering into a guilty plea. In the US, that includes describing the rights guaranteed by the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as well as a caution that non-citizens who are convicted of crimes risk expulsion from the country.: At the end of the colloquy, Judge Spicer asked Carr whether anyone had "pressured" him into accepting the deal.  wikipedia.org) |
