I concur in the result only for the reasons stated inTillery v. State, 647 So.2d 87 (Ala.Cr.App. 1994). In Tillery, this court stated:
 "Based on an examination of Boykin [v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274
(1969)]; Rule 14.4, Ala.R.Crim.P.; and Alabama case law, we find that the factual basis requirement is not a component of the determination of whether a defendant had voluntarily entered a plea of guilty. Therefore, Bennett [v. State, 649 So.2d 214 (Ala. 1994)], Parish [v. State, 660 So.2d 231 (Ala. 1994)], Cantu [v. State, 660 So.2d 1026 (Ala. 1994)], and Gordon [v. Nagle, 647 So.2d 91 (Ala. 1994),] are not applicable and this issue is not reviewable by this court because the appellant's contention concerning the factual basis of his plea was not preserved for appellate review."
647 So.2d at 89-90. *Page 1014
