Jordan, Presiding Judge,
concurring specially. I concur in the judgment of reversal based on the authorities cited in the majority opinion as applied to the limited record before us on these appeals. It is clearly shown that the appellant was adequately represented by employed counsel at the time he entered the pleas of guilty and that such pleas were entered on the advice of counsel. Statements in the State’s brief indicate that the court at the time it received the pleas of guilty fully explained the consequences of such pleas and thus met the requirements of Boykin v. Alabama, cited and relied upon in the opinion. However, such statements in the State’s brief are not affirmatively supported by the record and hence cannot be taken into consideration by this court.
