Plea Bargains, Prosecutorial Breach, and the Curious Right to Cure, 89 Brooklyn L. Rev. __ (2024)

Check out my new article on prosecutorial breaches of plea bargains and the rather curious "right to cure."  The article exposes this doctrine as another pro-prosecutor tool of the courts, and provides ways for defense counsel to respond to prosecutorial breaches of the sentence concession component of plea bargains.  It will be published next year in the Brooklyn Law Review, but you can find a pre-publication draft of the article here.  All of my articles, organized by topic, are available here.  Finally, you can find the new article's abstract after the jump.
