Heading: The elements of the crime

Text: During the plea canvass, the district court questioned Freese regarding whether his attorney had explained the elements of the offense to him and whether he understood those elements. Freese answered yes to both questions. In addition, the plea agreement contained a statement by Freese that he admitted to the facts constituting the offense and that he understood the elements of the offense as set forth in the charging document. We conclude that the district court's plea canvass was not inadequate for failure to review the elements of the crime because Freese admitted to the facts in the plea memorandum, and the memorandum and attached exhibit adequately advised him of the elements of the charges. See Hurd v. State, 114 Nev. 182, 953 P.2d 270 (1998).
