Most-quoted passages

“The Supreme Court in Broce did not conclude that a guilty plea waives the right to raise a double jeopardy challenge, Rather, the Court held that a guilty plea waives the right to a fact-finding hearing on a double jeopardy challenge. Broce, 488 U.S. at 573 , 109 S.Ct. 757 . Thus, "a plea of guilty to a charge does not waive a claim thatjudged on its face-the charge is one which the State may not constitutionally prosecute." Id. at 575 , 109 S.Ct. 757 (quoting Menna, 423 U.S. at 63 n. 2, 96 S.Ct. 241 ). What this means is that a court will consider the merits of a defendant's double jeopardy challenge if it can be resolved on the record as it existed at the time the defendant pled.”
