Defendant Alexis Yell pleads true to probation-violation counts; state drops other counts
Summary
Alexis Yell entered pleas of true to two probation-violation counts; the state abandoned counts 3–6, the court found the pleas voluntary, and accepted the facts for sentencing under the parties' agreement (one-year state-jail term).
The court accepted Alexis Yell's pleas of true to two alleged probation violations and found evidence sufficient to adjudicate those counts true. The state agreed to abandon counts 3 through 6 under a negotiated disposition; the court confirmed Yell entered the pleas freely and voluntarily.
The judge reviewed written documents marked by the state, confirmed defense counsel had reviewed them with Yell, and explained that by following the agreement Yell waived the right to appeal. "Did you enter your pleas of true to counts 1 and 2 freely and voluntarily?" the judge asked; Yell answered, "Yes."
Under the agreement the court indicated a one-year state-jail term as the disposition and handed the defendant the trial-court certification reflecting the waiver of appeal. The judge also gave the standard admonishment that a conviction can affect firearm rights and, for noncitizens, immigration consequences. The court told counsel to prepare any sentencing materials and ordered the procedure to proceed according to the agreement.
