P. v. Jones CA2/5
Defendant and appellant Lorie Jones (defendant) entered pleas of no contest to two charges in exchange for a sentence of probation and a suspended three-year prison term—a better deal than the one to which she initially agreed, which would have required her to serve two years in prison. After defendant was found to have violated the conditions of her probation, the trial court executed the suspended three-year prison term that was part of her agreed-upon sentence. We consider whether defendant can now challenge that prison sentence on the ground that the court should have imposed a two-year term pursuant to the original plea deal she agreed to modify.
