RIGHT TO A PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION AND A JURY TRIAL-I understand that I have the right to a speedy and public preliminary examination and a jury trial. I understand that a preliminary examination is a hearing before a judge to determine if there is reasonable and probable cause to believe that the felony offense(s) charged have been committed, and committed by me. I further understand if I am ordered to stand trial after a preliminary examination, I have the right to a speedy and public trial by jury. At the trial, I would be presumed innocent, and I could not be convicted unless all 12 impartial jurors were convinced that the District Attorney's Office had proven my guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

RIGHT AGAINST SELF-INCRIMINATION-I understand that I have the right to remain silent and not incriminate myself.

I understand that by pleading guilty or no contest, or admitting prior conviction(s) or probation violation(s), I am incriminating myself. I understand that if I am pleading no contest the Court will have no choice but to find me guilty of that charge(s), and a plea of no contest will not have any other benefit to me. [ ] 9. RIGHT TO PRODUCE EVIDENCE-I understand that I have the right at the preliminary examination and at trial to present evidence, and to have the Court issue subpoenas (or orders) to bring into court all witnesses and evidence favorable to me, at no cost to me.

However, for a charge of violating probation, I do not have the right to a jury trial, although I do have the right to a hearing before a judge. *[ ] IC FEL-100 (04-03-2006) 2 American LegalNet, Inc. www.USCourtForms.com WAIVER OF RIGHTS Understanding all this, for all the charges against me, including any prior conviction(s) or probation violation(s): 11.
