State v. Peterson

Supreme Court of Idaho

571 P.2d 767 (Idaho 1977)

Opinion

No. 12424.

November 22, 1977.

APPEAL FROM FIFTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT, JEROME COUNTY, THERON W. WARD, J.

Roger S. Burdick, of Hart Burdick, Jerome, for defendant-appellant.

Wayne L. Kidwell, Atty. Gen., Lynn E. Thomas, Deputy Atty. Gen., James F. Kile, Asst. Atty. Gen., Boise, for plaintiff-respondent.


Larry Peterson pleaded guilty to seven counts of burglary and the trial court accepted his pleas. He now contends that the pleas are invalid under State v. Colyer, 98 Idaho 32, 557 P.2d 626 (1976). We agree. The record, including inferences reasonably drawn therefrom, does not affirmatively show that Peterson knowingly and intelligently waived his constitutional rights to a jury trial, to confront his accusers, and to refrain from incriminating himself.

Reversed and remanded.
