The Alabama Notice of Intent To Plead Guilty is a document that is filed with the clerk of the court when a defendant is admitting guilt in a criminal case. The document serves as a formal announcement of the defendant's intention to enter a plea of guilty and as a waiver of the right to a trial. There are two types of Alabama Notice of Intent To Plead Guilty: one for felonies and one for misdemeanors. The felony Notice of Intent To Plead Guilty must be signed by the defendant, the defendant's attorney, and the prosecuting attorney. The misdemeanor Notice of Intent To Plead Guilty must be signed only by the defendant and the defendant's attorney. Both versions of the Notice of Intent To Plead Guilty must be accompanied by a sworn statement from the defendant that explains why they are pleading guilty and that they understand the consequences of pleading guilty. The Notice of Intent To Plead Guilty must also be accompanied by a sentencing order from the court.
