Description
1. Anthony Dawson appeals a judgment convicting him of first-degree sexual assault of a child. He also appeals an order denying his post-conviction motion to withdraw his no contest plea. Dawson contends that he should be allowed to withdraw his plea because the plea agreement included a provision that, upon his successful completion of five years probation, the State would move to reopen the case and amend the charge to intentional physical abuse of a child. We agree with Dawson that the reopen-and-amend provision of the plea agreement is legally unenforceable and thus renders his plea unknowing and involuntary. Accordingly, we reverse the appealed judgment and order and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
