Heading: Both defense counsel and county attorney have filed affidavits in this court, separate and apart from the record.

Text: These instruments indicate the aforesaid dialogue was preceded by other relevant but unrecorded negotiations or proceedings. See in this regard State v. Reppert, 215 N.W.2d 302, 306-307 (Iowa 1974); State v. Sisco, 169 N.W.2d 542, 549-550 (Iowa 1969); Recommendations of the National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals, Standard 3.2 (14 Crim.L. 3001, 3003). Among other things the above noted affidavits intimate the presiding judge indulged in plea bargaining during which defendant was advised a three year sentence would be imposed in event he entered a guilty plea. See in this regard ABA Standards Relating to Pleas of Guilty, § 3.3 and Commentary at 72-77 (Approved Draft 1968); ABA Standards Relating to the Function of the Trial Judge, § 4.1 and Commentary at 53-60 (Approved Draft 1972); Recommendations of the National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals, Standard 3.7 (14 Crim.L. 3001, 3004-3005). In the processing of this appeal, however, no recognition is accorded said affidavits. See In re Adoption of Blanchard, 179 N.W.2d 441, 442 (Iowa 1970); State v. Houston, 261 Iowa 1369, 158 N.W.2d 158, 161 (1968); Code § 793.17; Iowa R.Civ.P. 340(a).
