Syllabus

State's appeal. The trial court did not err in failing to impose a sentence within the terms of the parties' negotiated plea agreement, which it had indicated at the plea hearing that it would impose, after the court determined that the plea had not been entered knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily. Although the trial court should not have offered the defendant different sentencing terms to induce her to stand on her plea, rather than withdraw it, the State did not challenge the validity of the plea. Judgment affirmed.
