Heading: did the lower court commit fundamental error in failing to advise the defendant of his right of confrontation and of his right to remain silent pursuant to the acceptance of defendant's plea of guilty?

Text: We agree with the position of appellee that Boykin v. United States, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969), imposes the requirement that the record shows a voluntary and intelligent plea. Boykin and related cases require, pursuant to a guilty plea, the waiver of the right of confrontation and the privilege against compulsory self-incrimination. This court in State v. Darling, 109 Ariz. 148, 506 P.2d 1042 (1973), also set forth the requirement that the face of the record must show not only a waiver of the right to trial by a jury, but also a waiver of the privilege against self-incrimination and the waiver of the right of confrontation. See also State v. Moreno, 109 Ariz. 266, 508 P.2d 730 (1973). A careful review of the record indicates only a waiver by defendant of the right to trial by jury. We therefore remand this case for a determination by the trial court of whether there had been a knowledgeable waiver of the privilege against self-incrimination and the right of confrontation.
