How courts have described this case

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

  • recognizing that “5-604 does not speak to a situation in which the parties among themselves agree to have waived the strict provisions of the rule,” but finding no such violation where prudence and common sense dictated such a result
  • holding no violation where the defendant acquiesced in delay due to plea bargain, which delay inured to his benefit
  • holding six-month rule suspended based on parties’ agreement that proceedings be held in abeyance- pending ruling by court on plea bargain
  • stating that the defendant and his attorney's actions in signing a plea agreement after the rule date had passed indicated an implicit agreement to suspend the rule such that prudence and common sense would not require an extension
  • setting aside a literal application of the six-month rule if a plea agreement is not approved
  • interpreting Rule 5-604 to restart the six-month period from the date that the trial court rejected a plea agreement at a hearing, which was held before the entry of judgment and sentence
