7.I understand that if the Court rejects the plea agreement, it must so inform me and allow me to either persist in my guilty plea, in which case I may receive a less favorable disposition of my case than is contemplated in the plea agreement, or withdraw my guilty plea and proceed to trial.
8.In return for my guilty plea, the Commonwealth has agreed to recommend to the Court the following original/amended
charge(s) and sentence(s):______________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Other than the recommendation, no one, including my attorney, has promised me any other benefit in return for my guilty plea, nor has anyone forced or threatened me to plead “GUILTY.”
9. Because I am guilty and make no claim of innocence, I wish to plead “GUILTY” in reliance on the above
recommendation. These facts establish my guilt: On ___________________________, 2_____,
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
OR
Pursuant to North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (1970), I wish to plead “GUILTY” in reliance on the above recommendation. In so pleading, I do not admit guilt but I believe the evidence against me strongly indicates guilt and my interests are best served by a guilty plea.
10.I understand that because of my conviction here today, I may be subject to greater/enhanced penalties if found guilty and/or convicted of any future criminal offenses. I understand that if I am not a United States citizen, I may be subject to deportation pursuant to the laws and regulations governing the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service.
11.I declare my plea of “GUILTY” is freely, knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made. I understand the nature of this proceeding, the complete terms of this plea, and all obligations imposed upon me by its terms.
Signed in open court this _______ day of ________________________________, 2______.
