1. ““In Crawford , the Supreme Court permitted a defendant to waive consideration of sentencing factors made mandatory by statute. We see no discernible difference in holding a defendant may also waive consideration of a presumptive sentence provided by statute. We hold that when a defendant enters into a plea agreement and asks for and receives the bargained-for sentence, he or she has waived any consideration or application by the trial court of the presumptive sentence set forth in K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 21-4606b. In these circumstances, State v. Crawford controls, and State v. Turner is not applicable.” Vargas, 18 Kan. App. 2d at 894 .”
