How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that “fundamental fairness” requires that defendant possess an opportunity to withdraw his or her guilty plea when a sentencing judge rejects the parties’ non-binding recommendation
• in open plea agreement, there is agreement as to charges to be brought, but no agreement at all to restrict prosecution’s right to seek maximum sentences applicable to those charges
• unlike here, where record supports claim that Appellant bargained for one concurrent term recommendation from the Commonwealth, an appellant would be entitled to withdraw plea post- sentence if bargained-for recommendation not made
