Tate, 220 N.J. at 406 (quoting Barboza, 115 N.J. at 421 ).

2017Thus, before accepting a guilty plea, "the trial 4 A-4222-15T2 court must be 'satisfied from the lips of the defendant that he committed the acts which constitute the crime.'" A factual basis for a plea must include either an admission or the acknowledgment of facts that meet "'the essential elements of the crime.'" [ 220 N.J. 393, 406 (2015) (emphasis added and citations omitted).] The elements of the per se violation, which is the form of driving while under the influence to which defendant pled guilty, are straight forward.
