## Opinion text

JUSTICE REINHARD, specially concurring:
Even assuming the State broke a plea agreement with the defendant, no plea of guilty was entered by defendant here in reliance thereon, and defendant has not shown under the facts here any other violation of his constitutional right to due process under the Federal or State constitutions or any violation of State law. I believe this case to be controlled by Mabry v. Johnson (1984), 467 U.S__, 81 L. Ed. 2d 437 , 104 S. Ct. 2543 , and the majority’s extensive analysis of contract law and much of its other discussion on this issue is unnecessary and somewhat confusing in the light of the holding in Mabry. I therefore concur only in the result for the reason stated herein.
I do, however, concur with that portion of the analysis in the majority opinion which denies the defendant’s motion to dismiss the State’s appeal.
