District Court of Appeal of Florida April 25, 1997, No. 96-2942 (Booker v. State)

DAUKSCH, Judge.

This is an appeal from an order denying a motion to withdraw a guilty plea.

This is another example of why trial judges should avoid sentence bargaining. The state and the defendant agreed to an arrangement whereby appellant would plead guilty to certain crimes and the state would nolle prosequi other charges.
