New Mexico v. Miller
Annotate this CaseIn 2008, Defendant Andrew Miller faced sixty-one counts consisting mostly of fraud and embezzlement charges between two indictments against him. He entered into a plea agreement with the State covering both indictments, which the district court accepted. Defendant pleaded Guilty or No Contest to four second-degree felonies and two third-degree felonies. In exchange for Defendant's pleas, the State dropped all but six charges against him. The Supreme Court issued a writ of certiorari to review the Court of Appeals' decision that the district court's sentence of Defendant Andrew Miller violated the terms of a plea agreement that the district court had accepted. Upon review, the Supreme Court agreed with the Court of Appeals that defendant's sentence violated the plea agreement. However, the high court disagreed with the remedy that the Court of Appeals ordered and clarify case law on this account. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings.
