1Opinion of the CourtFreedman, J.
The defendant appeals from the judgments of conviction rendered following his Alford1 plea to arson in the first degree, burglary in the third degree, and larceny in the second degree.2 The defendant claims that (1) his guilty plea was not knowingly and voluntarily made, (2) the trial court improperly conducted the canvass of his guilty plea in violation of constitutional requirements and the rules of practice, and (3) it was factually impossible for the defendant to commit arson in the first degree as defined in General Statutes § 53a-lll. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
