United States v. Rodriguez-Adorno, No. 11-1050 (1st Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseFollowing a carjacking that resulted in a shooting death, defendant executed a plea agreement without having been informed that the maximum penalty for the crime was life imprisonment. He ultimately received a sentence of 360 months, though his plea agreement recommended 120 months. The First Circuit reversed and remanded, finding that the appeal provision in his plea agreement is unenforceable because the district court violated FRCP Rule 11 by failing to inform him of the maximum penalty at his hearing.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on September 17, 2012.
