Description
There was no error in the denial of a motion to withdraw pleas of guilty to indictments which were accepted following a searching inquiry of the defendant indicating that the pleas were understandingly and voluntarily made; it was not crucial that, with respect to the subjects of waivers by the defendant of the right to a jury trial, of the privilege against self-incrimination, and of the right of confrontation, only waiver of jury trial was the subject of specific questions, or that most of the questions to the defendant were put by his counsel instead of by the Judge. [603-605] Upon indictments charging rape and four other serious offences committed on the same occasion, statements to the defendant prior to his pleas of guilty that not only could the court give him the maximum penalty of life imprisonment but also a second life sentence on and after the first sentence adequately informed the defendant of the consequences of his pleas; the pleas were not defective in that the defendant had not been advised that he was subject to G. L. c. 123A, concerning sexually dangerous persons. [605-606]
