How courts have described this case

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

• holding that government is entitled to similar remedies in an appeal of a defendant’s breach of a plea agreement as a defendant would be in a government breach appeal
• holding that prosecution is generally entitled to specific performance or withdrawal of plea following defendant’s breach, but because the government waived its right to withdrawal of plea, only the possibility of specific performance remained
• reasoning that although the Supreme Court’s holding in Santobello was partly based on defendant’s constitutional rights, “it also relies on the fundamental principle that one party cannot be held to a bargain that the other party has breached”
