Daniel Pedraza, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee — Baker, J., Dissenting

Summary

The dissent would dismiss Pedraza's appeal for lack of jurisdiction because his challenge to additional voir dire concerned a condition integral to the guilty-plea agreement rather than an issue decided separately from the plea. The dissent reasons that the record made use of the already selected jury a condition of accepting the plea, and that Pedraza neither demonstrated juror prejudice nor sought to withdraw the plea. The dissenting justice's view is joined by Justice Hart.
