COLLOQUY IN COURT TRIAL
The PCR court went for the State, reasoning that when the trial court asked Bridger whether the affidavits provided a factual basis for each of the elements of the charges, he said yes, and the court found a factual basis, that was enough.īridger appeals. Bridger moved for summary judgment arguing that he didn’t admit any facts and the plea colloquy was “unlawfully sparse.” The State, of course, opposed and said it was entitled to summary judgment. As we know, Rule 11 requires a factual basis for a plea. He got six to 20 years with concurrent lesser sentences on the transferred charges.Īfter five years or so in jail, Bridger filed a post-conviction relief (PCR) petition. Petitioner had an oral plea colloquy and signed a written waiver of his rights and restitution orders.

Each of the templates can be easily revised to meet the needs of the local jurisdiction. The dramatic increase in youths' understanding and retention suggests an improvement in the court's communication with youth. This was a 158-percent change in the level of understanding prior to the introduction of the colloquy templates. In one court, the youth interviewed reported understanding 90 percent of the conditions of release and probation ordered by the judge. After 3 months of using the templates, the project team completed a pre- and post-survey of youth and court observations. The "Do's and Don'ts" checklists were written to cover most of the possible orders youth are given during the two different hearings. The project team worked closely with the pilot sites to develop and tailor the tools to each court's local practices. Templates were given to the juveniles in a "Do's and Don'ts" format so the juvenile could understand the requirements and the restrictions stemming from judges' decisions made at each processing stage. For each of these stages, the project developed templates of conversational language suitable for a 6.5-grade reading level and with a high readability score. The case-processing stages addressed in the colloquies were first appearance/conditions of release and disposition/conditions of probation. The term "colloquy" was chosen to describe the project's main feature, because this word captures the nature of the activity, i.e., to engage in conversation in the context of a high-level, serious discussion (conference).
