How courts have described this case

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

  • recognizing that if a court corrects a 8 sentence that was part of a plea agreement, the defendant “must be allowed to withdraw from the plea agreement if he so chooses”
  • holding that where the specific sentence promised by the prosecution did not include the mandatory conditional-release term, the promise was unauthorized by law and the defendant must be allowed to withdraw the plea
  • stating that, when applying a prior version of the statute, the terms of conditional-release statute are “mandatory and nonwaivable”
  • declining to grant defendant specific performance of plea agreement when it included terms that district court had no authority to impose in first place
  • “As [the statute] requires that Garcia’s sentence include a conditional release term, his original sentence without the term was unauthorized and the court had jurisdiction under Minn. R.Crim. P. 27.03, subd. 9 to amend it.” (emphasis added)
