CR-27 - MISDEMEANOR PLEA FORM (SELF-REPRESENTED DEFENDANTS ONLY). This is a Napa County Superior Court form used by individuals without an attorney to enter a guilty or no contest plea, or to admit a probation violation in a misdemeanor case. The form explains the defendant’s constitutional rights, including the right to an attorney, trial, confrontation of witnesses, and protection against self-incrimination, and requires the defendant to waive those rights before entering a plea. It also outlines the potential consequences of a plea, such as fines, restitution, license suspension, and possible immigration effects. The defendant must confirm that the plea is made voluntarily and with full understanding. The form includes sections for the prosecutor’s consent and the court’s findings and acceptance of the plea. Adopted for Mandatory Use. www.FormsWorkflow.com
