• plea agreement not binding until approved by trial court or relied on by defendant to his detriment
• “To hold the prosecutor bound by the agreement under [such circumstances] would ... actually inhibit the dispositional use of plea bargaining by placing the prosecutor at an absolute disadvantage.”
• “For the judiciary to claim power to control the institution and conduct of prosecutions would be an intrusion on the power of the executive branch of government and a violation of the constitutional separation of powers.” (citation omitted)
• “[S]pecific performance, or the alternate remedy of plea withdrawal, [is] available only after the plea ha[s] been accepted, defendant ha[s] acted to his prejudice in reliance upon the agreement, and the prosecutor ha[s] thereafter refused to perform its part of the bargain[.]”
