Syllabus

GUILTY PLEA – FELONIOUS ASSAULT – MURDER – INDICTMENT: Where the victim later died from injuries inflicted by defendant, the trial court did not err in dismissing a murder indictment against defendant where, as part of a negotiated plea deal, defendant pled guilty to felonious assault, the state was aware of the gravity of the victim's injuries at the time of defendant's plea, and the state failed to reserve on the record at the plea hearing the right to prosecute defendant in the future should the victim die as a result of the injuries inflicted by defendant.
