People v Degraffenried

Holding The court affirmed the judgments, finding that the defendant violated a valid plea condition by contradicting his sworn admissions during a probation interview, which justified an enhanced sentence. Additionally, the court held that the defendant’s valid waiver of the right to appeal precluded review of the sentence’s excessiveness.
