Adult Guilty Plea Colloquy {357}

Form 357 - ADULT GUILTY PLEA COLLOQUY. This is a Delaware Family Court form used when an adult defendant enters a guilty plea in a criminal proceeding. It ensures that the plea is made knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently, confirming that the defendant understands the nature of the charges, potential penalties, and constitutional rights being waived—including the rights to trial, counsel, confrontation of witnesses, and appeal. The form also addresses issues such as promises, coercion, sentencing expectations, probation or parole implications, firearm restrictions, and potential immigration consequences for non-citizens. Both the defendant and defense counsel must sign before judicial approval. www.FormsWorkflow.com
