Brant v. State

Summary

The Court dismissed Brant’s appeal because his negotiated plea agreement contained a valid waiver of his rights to appeal and seek post-conviction relief. The waiver was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent, and later legal developments eliminating juvenile eligibility for the death penalty did not render Brant’s plea involuntary. The Court noted that Brant was not challenging an unauthorized sentence or a sentence exceeding what he had bargained for.
