How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the use of the phrase “the State’ in a plea agreement manifests “the parties” mutual intent to use that term in referring only to the prosecutorial branch of the State”
• prosecutor’s promises in plea agreements do not bind police officers because police neither participate in plea negotiations nor have voice in dictating terms
• prosecution’s agreement not to recommend sentence not binding on investigating officer who was not a party to the agreement
• plea agreements are between the defendant and the prosecutor because “the State” refers only to the prosecutorial branch; police who prepare the PSI do not participate in the negotiations nor the agreement
