## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding that plea colloquy, complaint, and photographs of the victim’s injuries established a sufficient factual basis because the “defendant, by his plea of guilty, in effect judicially admitted the allegations contained in the complaint.”
- concluding that a defendant’s plea had a sufficient factual basis because, in part, the record contained a copy of the complaint, and the defendant in effect judicially admitted to the allegations in the complaint by pleading guilty
- stating that the defendant’s assertion that defense counsel promised him probation was negated by the record and that “[c]learly, therefore, the trial court was justified in finding that no such promise had been made
- stating that “[o]ther possible benefits of the accuracy requirement include assisting the court in determining whether the plea is intelligently entered and facilitating the rehabilitation of 6 the defendant”
- holding that the defendant’s claim that he pleaded guilty because of an unfulfilled promise by his attorney was negated when he signed the guilty plea petition and stated that no promises induced his plea
