2008 MT 201
STATE OF MONTANA,v.
DUSTIN DUMONT RAHN,
The dispositive issue is whether the District Court abused its discretion in ruling the State of Montana did not breach the plea agreement.
Allowing the State to make a “miscarriage of justice” argument on remand via Sullivan’s letter and testimony—the very evidence by which it breached the plea agreement—would itself be a miscarriage of justice, because it would effectively deny Rahn any remedy for the State’s breach.
Reversed and remanded for resentencing by a different judge consistent with this opinion.
