on certification; for Soto: Shelley Fite, SPD, Madison Appellate; case activity; prior post
Issues (composed by On Point):
Whether a defendant has a non-waivable right to be physically present at a §§ 971.04(1)(g) and 885.60.
If the right to physical presence at the plea proceeding can be waived or forfeited, whether a formal colloquy is nonetheless required before the defendant enters a plea via video conferencing.
Whether, if Soto’s plea proceeding was erroneously held by video conferencing, the error was harmless, in light of improvements in the technology.
