Oral Argument

Highlight
A district court’s role to approve or reject amendments to criminal charges does not violate the separation of powers doctrine.
A district court did not abuse its discretion when it denied a motion to amend a criminal charge and rejected a plea agreement. The court followed the legislative directive, explained why the State negotiated the agreement, and explained the court’s reasons for rejecting it.
