Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Pursuant to a plea agreement, Donice M. Johnson was convicted of first-degree murder (K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 21-3401) and aggravated kidnapping (K.S.A. 21-3421), for which she received two consecutive life sentences. Johnson appeals, contending that the State violated a term of the plea agreement. She seeks resentencing by a different district judge or, alternatively, withdrawal of her guilty pleas. On April 28, 1993, defendant, two of her brothers, and her boyfriend murdered 16-year-old Amanda Gardner in order to obtain the victim's automobile. The murder was premeditated and particularly brutal. One of the brothers, Joe Johnson, III, pled guilty to first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping, and theft. Defendant pled guilty, as previously stated, to first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping. In exchange for her plea the State agreed: (1) to dismiss a theft charge; (2) not to ask the court for the ""hard forty"" or to proceed to trial on the ""hard forty""; and (3) to take no position as to whether concurrent or consecutive sentences should be imposed.
