Brooks v. State

BURNETT, Justice:

Respondent pled guilty to second degree burglary, grand larceny, and financial transaction card fraud and was sentenced, respectively, to two ten year prison terms and a one year prison term. He filed an application for post-conviction relief (PCR). The PCR judge granted PCR, finding respondent’s plea was involuntary because the trial judge did not sentence him to seven years’ imprisonment in accordance with the terms of his negotiated plea. The Court granted certiorari to review the decision of the PCR judge. We reverse.
