Colorado Revised Statutes Title 16. Criminal Proceedings § 16-7-207. Court's duty to inform on first appearance in court and on pleas of guilty

(a) The defendant need make no statement, and any statement made can and may be used against him or her.

(b) The defendant has a right to counsel.

(c) If the defendant is an indigent person, he or she may make application for a court-appointed attorney, and, upon payment of the application fee, he or she will be assigned counsel as provided by law or applicable rule of criminal procedure.

(d) Any plea the defendant makes must be voluntary on his or her part and not the result of undue influence or coercion on the part of anyone.

(e) The defendant has a right to bail, if the offense is bailable, and the amount of bail that has been set by the court.

(f) The defendant has a right to a jury trial.

(g) The nature of the charges against the defendant.

(a) That the defendant understands the nature of the charge and the elements of the offense to which he is pleading and the effect of his plea;

(b) That the plea is voluntary on defendant's part and is not the result of undue influence or coercion on the part of anyone;

(c) That he understands the right to trial by jury;

(d) That he understands the possible penalty or penalties and the possible places of incarceration;

(e) That the defendant understands that the court will not be bound by any representations made to the defendant by anyone concerning the penalty to be imposed or the granting or the denial of probation, unless the representations are included in a formal plea agreement approved by the court and supported by the findings of the presentence report, if any; and

(f) That there is a factual basis for the plea. If the plea is entered as a result of a plea agreement, the court shall explain to the defendant and satisfy itself that the defendant understands the basis for the plea agreement, and the defendant may then waive the establishment of a factual basis for the particular charge to which he pleads guilty.
