Does public policy preclude a defendant from waiving their right to appeal their sentencing?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Sample, 92 F.3d 1195 (9th Cir. 1996):
In passing, Sample requests that the court rehear en banc whether public policy precludes waiver of the right to appeal sentencing issues contained in plea agreements. Although we have held that public policy strongly supports plea agreements in which the defendant has waived the right to appeal, United States v. Navarro-Botello, 912 F.2d 318, 321 (9th Cir.1990), cert. denied, 503 U.S. 942 (1992), we do not address that issue in this case.
