Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Brendan E. Greiner, District Associate Judge. CONVICTIONS AFFIRMED; SENTENCES VACATED AND REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Greer and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, P.J. (7 pages)
Munchelo Dock appeals his Alford pleas to nine counts of indecent exposure and the sentence imposed by the district court, arguing (1) the prosecutor breached the plea agreement; (2) the plea lacked a factual basis; and (3) his convictions and sentences “violate[d] the Double Jeopardy protection against cumulative punishment, and amount[ed] to an illegal sentence.” OPINION HOLDS: We affirm Dock’s convictions but vacate his sentences and remand for resentencing before a different judge.
