Advisement Of Rights Waiver And Plea Form-Felony {CR-400}

CR-400 - ADVISEMENT OF RIGHTS, WAIVER, AND PLEA FORM – FELONY. This form is used by the Superior Court of California, County of Monterey, for defendants who wish to plead guilty or no contest to felony charges. It is designed to ensure that the defendant fully understands the charges, the potential penalties, the constitutional rights they are waiving, and the consequences of their plea. The defendant must read and acknowledge each section, initial relevant items, and provide detailed information about their plea, including any conduct enhancements, prior convictions, and agreed-upon sentencing terms. The form also includes advisements on immigration consequences, victim restitution, mandatory registration, firearm prohibitions, and possible future enhancements or consequences based on the plea. Additionally, the form includes statements from the defendant's attorney, confirming the plea was made knowingly and voluntarily, an interpreter, if applicable, to verify accurate translation, and the prosecutor, affirming the terms and factual basis of the plea. The judge then reviews the form, confirms the defendant’s understanding and voluntariness, and formally accepts the plea, resulting in a conviction. www.FormsWorkflow.com
