State v. Torres
Annotate this CaseOscar Torres pleaded guilty to felony murder, criminal discharge of a firearm at an occupied building, and aggravated assault. After the Supreme Court remanded the case for resentencing on a separate issue but before resentencing, Torres sought to withdraw his plea. Torres argued that the State violated the plea agreement at his original, since-vacated sentencing by reading a letter from the victim's mother asking the court to impose the maximum prison time. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that because Torres ultimately received a new sentencing hearing at which the victim's mother personally testified and the court imposed the sentence recommended by the plea agreement, Torres' argument on appeal was moot.
