Description
This is an appeal from a judgment and sentence of 5 years on a guilty plea for the unlawful possession of a depressant and
stimulant drug. Defendant premises his appeal on the unconstitutionality of the statute and also on his assertion that the
record fails to affirmatively show defendant pled guilty voluntarily, understandingly, intelligently, and with full knowledge
of the rights he was waiving by his plea. We affirm. Defendant filed a brief herein, based solely on his contention that this case was controlled by Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S.
238, 89 S. Ct. 1709, 23 L. Ed. 2d 274, because the court failed to advise the defendant specifically that by pleading guilty
he was waiving his constitutional right to confront and cross-examine his accusers. The record herein sets out a detailed
examination by the trial court before accepting a guilty plea, after permitting the defendant to withdraw his previous plea
of not guilty. From the record there is no question in our mind but that the defendant knowingly and intelligently entered
his plea herein, although the court did not specifically mention the right of confrontation. This phase of the case is controlled
by State v. Turner, 186 Neb. 424, 183 N.W.2d 763.
