Grater v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction and sentence for felony possession of marijuana, holding that Defendant was not prejudiced by the State's breach, if any, of the written plea agreement.
In exchange for Defendant's guilty plea to possession of marijuana the State agreed to dismiss a misdemeanor possession of methamphetamine charge and recommend that the trial court suspend Defendant's sentence in favor of supervised probation. The State, however, reneged on its promise to recommend a suspended sentence at sentencing, claiming that it withdrew the plea agreement after the trial court had accepted Defendant's plea because Defendant violated the terms of his bond. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Defendant failed to show that he was prejudiced by the State's breach, if any.
