Matthews v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant entered into a conditional plea agreement pursuant to which he pled guilty to interference with a peace officer and reserved the right to appeal three issues. The district court affirmed the circuit court’s rulings on those three issues. The Supreme Court reversed after addressing only one issue that was not addressed by either party, holding (1) because one of the three issues included in Defendant’s conditional plea was not a valid pretrial motion and was therefore not reviewable in a conditional plea appeal, the entire plea was invalid; and (2) therefore, Defendant should be allowed to withdraw his conditional guilty plea. Remanded.
