Highlight

A court need not personally address a defendant when establishing the factual basis for the defendant's guilty plea.
The lack of a factual basis for a guilty plea is a fundamental defect that calls into question the validity and voluntariness of the plea.
The ideal means of establishing the factual basis for a guilty plea is for the district court to ask the defendant to state, in the defendant's own words, what the defendant did that he believes constitutes the crime to which he is pleading guilty.
A trial court may conclude that a factual basis exists from anything that appears on the record, including the facts gleaned from the plea agreement and plea colloquy, the factual findings relied upon in the presentence report, and any inferences fairly drawn from the evidence presented both post-plea and at the sentencing hearing.
