¶ 2.            
On April 12, 2010, defendant pled guilty, by plea agreement, to
first-degree aggravated domestic assault for strangling the complainant, and to
five counts of violations of conditions of release.  The plea agreement,
signed by defendant and his attorney, contained a special condition of
probation that defendant not abuse or harass the complainant.  At the
beginning of the plea hearing, in defendant’s presence, the State noted orally
on the record the conditions of release, which included “no abuse or harassment
of [the complainant].”  After a plea colloquy, the judge said, “Your
probation will be for a period of at least ten years.  And the other
conditions we’ve described here all apply.”  The court accepted the plea
agreement and sentenced defendant to five-to-fifteen years, all suspended but
forty days to serve.  Defendant did not receive a “certificate explicitly setting forth the conditions upon which he [was]
released.”  28 V.S.A. § 252(c).  The State concedes that
defendant never signed a probation order.
