  • when accused voluntarily chooses to reject or withdraw from a plea bargain, he retains no right to the rejected sentence
  • \An accused may not be subjected to more severe punishment for exercising his constitutional right to stand trial.\
  • defendant who rejects a plea-bargained sentence assumes the risk of receiving a harsher sentence; a contrary rule would render all plea negotiations futile because a defendant could reject an offer yet still retain the benefit of the bargain
