Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The case of Boykin v. Alabama established that a judge must determine whether a defendant's plea is knowing and voluntary before accepting it. This means that the judge has to ensure that the defendant understands the nature of the charges and the consequences of pleading guilty, and that the plea is not the result of coercion, duress, or misunderstanding. The judge does not determine guilt or sentence at this stage, but rather assesses the validity of the plea.
