State v. Scharbrough

McALLISTER, C. J.,

specially concurring.

Plea bargaining at its best is a questionable practice and when indulged in by a judge is deplorable.① However, because of the plea of guilty we cannot reach the problem in this case, and I concur in the majority opinion. The effect of the plea bargaining in this case can be considered only if raised in a subsequent proceeding.
