People v. C.S.A., No. A122776

By FindLaw Staff on February 01, 2010 | Last updated on March 21, 2019

Trial court's decision enforcing a cooperation agreement between law enforcement officers and defendant and dismissal of a felony charge and related probation violations is reversed and remanded as law enforcement officers had no authority to promise the felony charge and related probation violations would be dismissed, and defendant's reliance on that unauthorized promise had no constitutional consequence permitting dismissal on due process grounds.
