TUO- CR-525 - ADVISEMENT AND WAIVER OF RIGHTS (FELONY) NON PC § 1170(h). This form used by the Superior Court of California, County of Tuolumne, is designed to formally document that a defendant accused of a felony offense fully understands and voluntarily waives specific constitutional and statutory rights before entering a guilty or no contest plea. This form outlines a defendant’s rights, such as the right to a jury trial, the right to confront and cross-examine witnesses, the right to remain silent, and the right to subpoena witnesses. By initialing and signing, the defendant confirms their understanding of potential sentencing consequences, including probation, parole, registration requirements (e.g., as a sex or narcotics offender), fines, restitution, and implications under the Three Strikes Law. It also includes critical advisements about immigration consequences, firearm relinquishment, potential future charges (such as for drug-related deaths or impaired driving fatalities), and possible civil commitment as a sexually violent predator. The form is also signed by the defense attorney to verify that the defendant has been properly advised. The court signs off on the form after finding that the plea and waiver are made knowingly, voluntarily, and with an understanding of all legal consequences.
