MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Donaldson, 116 F.3d 1487 (9th Cir. 1997):
The effect of a guilty plea is that the defendant admits all the elements of a formal criminal charge and conclusively admits all factual allegations of the indictment. See United States v. Mathews, 833 F.2d 161, 163 (9th Cir.1987). All of the factual and legal elements necessary to sustain a binding, final judgment of guilt and a lawful sentence are included in the guilty plea. See United States v. Parra Cazares, 112 F.3d 1391, 1396 (9th Cir.1997).
