North Dakota Supreme Court

State v. Chambers

October 22, 20252025 ND 178

Summary

The North Dakota Supreme Court affirmed the district court's acceptance of Chambers' open guilty plea, holding that there was a sufficient factual basis for the cognizable attempted intentional murder charge, that Rule 11(c)(3)(B) does not apply to an open plea lacking a joint sentencing recommendation, and that Chambers failed to show prejudice under the obvious error standard.
