  • stating that a trial court’s error in failing to review a defendant’s rights during a guilty plea proceeding is harmless “[i]f it can be shown that the defendant already knew what he was not advised”
  • failing to warn that “the resulting judgment of conviction may be used in a subsequent proceeding to enhance the punishment” does not raise a matter of constitutional concern
