People v. White

Defendant, charged with first-degree murder on accountability theory as the "look-out" in shooting of cab driver, entered plea of guilty to first-degree murder. Factual basis of plea indicated that a firearm was used in the commission of the offense, and thus per statute a 15-year enhancement to sentence was mandatory. Plea was void, despite agreement of parties, because court could not impose a sentence which did not include mandatory 15-year enhancement. (KILBRIDE, FREEMAN, THOMAS, GARMAN, and KARMEIER, concurring.)
