Description
This appeal involves a plea agreement entered into between defendant-appellant Barton J. Adams and the State of Hawaii. Faced with a 21-count indictment for medical assistance (Medicaid) fraud and theft, Adams agreed to plead no contest to one count of Medicaid fraud in violation of Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 346-43.5 (1985) in exchange for, inter alia, the State's promise to "stand silent . . . and not oppose" his requests for a deferred acceptance of his no contest plea (DANC) and for no jail time. Claiming that the State breached the plea agreement when it submitted a sharply critical seven-page "statement" to the Adult Probation Division (APD), Adams unsuccessfully sought to withdraw his plea. For the reasons set forth below, we vacate the circuit court's denial of Adams's motion to withdraw his plea and remand for entry of an order granting the motion.
