United States Eighth Circuit

A sentence for aiding and abetting armed bank robbery is vacated and remanded for resentencing by a different judge where the government breached a plea agreement between the parties when it argued at sentencing that defendant failed to accept responsibility because of false statements she made to authorities prior to the plea agreement, and harmless-error review does not apply.
