State v. Dye

by
After a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of robbery, first degree false imprisonment, third degree assault, third degree sexual assault, and carrying a concealed weapon. The parties subsequently entered into a sentencing agreement, pursuant to which Defendant waived his right to appeal. The district court imposed sentences in conformity with the sentencing agreement. Defendant subsequently appealed, arguing that the sentencing agreement was unenforceable because appeal waivers are against public policy. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that Defendant’s waiver of his right to appeal entered into as party of the sentencing agreement was enforceable. View "State v. Dye" on Justia Law
