State v. Slotsky
Annotate this CasePursuant to a plea agreement, Defendant pleaded guilty to a charge of unauthorized ingestion of a controlled substance. At the change of plea hearing, the State agreed to recommend a light sentence with no jail time. At sentencing, however, the State impliedly argued for a harsher sentence. The circuit court sentenced Defendant to five years of imprisonment with one year suspended. The Supreme Court vacated Defendant’s sentence and remanded for resentencing, holding that the State’s failure to recommend a light sentence and no jail time at sentencing was a material and substantial breach of the plea agreement.
