P. v. Meyer
Kristie T. Meyer appeals from the judgment of conviction after entry of her no contest plea. In the middle of appellants trial for seven theft-related felonies, the court granted appellants Marsden[1] motion and relieved her attorney. The court then declared a mistrial. Appellants substitute counsel filed a motion to dismiss based on double jeopardy. Prior to the hearing on that motion, appellant entered into a plea agreement on condition that she could still litigate and, if necessary, appeal the double jeopardy issue. Her motion to dismiss on double jeopardy grounds was subsequently denied. Appellant contends the trial court erred in declaring a mistrial because she did not consent and legal necessity did not require it. Court disagree and hence affirm the convictions.
