1. “When a guilty plea rests in any significant degree on a promise or agreement of the prosecutor, so that it can be said to be part of the inducement or consideration, such promise must be fulfilled. Santobello v. New York, 404 U.S. 257 , 92 S.Ct. 495 [ 30 L.Ed.2d 427 ] (1971); State v. Redfearn, 441 So.2d 200 (La.1983). Even if there was no plea bargain with the State, if the defendant justifiably believed there was, and pled guilty in part because of that justifiable belief, the guilty plea was not knowingly made. In such a case the plea must be set aside and defendant allowed to plead again. State v. Hayes, 423 So.2d 1111 (La. 1982); State ex rel. Lafleur [ v. Donnelly ], 416 So.2d 82 (La.1982).”
