“jurisdiction cannot be conferred on the court by agreement of the parties”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[A] conviction on a charge not made by the indictment or information is a denial of due process of law.... If the charging instrument completely fails to charge a crime, therefore, a conviction thereon violates due process. Where an indictment or information wholly omits to allege one or more of the essential elements of the crime, it fails to charge a crime under the laws of the state. Since a conviction cannot rest upon such an indictment or information, the complete failure of an accusatory instrument to charge a crime is a defect that can be raised at any time — before trial, after trial, on appeal, or by habeas corpus.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“shall have the option of withdrawing from the entire plea agreement since the plea agreement was based on a material mistake of law which works to the benefit of [the defendant].”
