California Court of Appeal

The People's petition for a writ of mandate challenging the trial court's order reforming a plea bargain detrimentally to the People by reducing the penalty to the term of imprisonment authorized by law for the crime, is granted, where the trial court exceeded its jurisdiction by reforming the negotiated plea to conform with the applicable law because the reformation denied the People the benefit of their bargain.
