2007And, contrary to Swoopes’s contention, our supreme court’s decision in Smith, 202 Ariz. 446 , 46 P.3d 1067 , does not support his argument that this claim is not precluded; indeed, Smith supports the opposite conclusion. 11 IV. ¶21 In Smith, our supreme court examined the distinction between claims that may be precluded under Rule 32.2 based on the defendant’s mere failure to raise them previously and claims that require a personal waiver before they may be deemed waived and, therefore, precluded.

2024Procedural protections for waiver are at their highest when the rights involved are so “essential to the ‘constitutional model of a fair trial’ that a personal waiver is the only adequate means to ensure the defendant has not been deprived of one of the structural guarantees of our trial system.” See id. at 83 , ¶ 20 (citing Schneckloth, 412 U.S. at 241 ). ¶23 Our criminal procedure rules implement the heightened safeguards for certain fundamental rights.
