J. Diaz finds the lower court properly denied postconviction relief to the murderer. Police charged the murderer with several crimes, including carjacking, kidnapping, armed robbery, first-degree assault, and first-degree murder. The prosecutor offered to dismiss all the other charges if he pleaded guilty to two counts of carjacking and one count of second-degree murder. The murderer took the plea deal after hearing that Maryland's guidelines for these offenses are thirty to fifty-one years rather than the ninety possible years he faced for the original charges. He contends he involuntarily agreed to the plea deal, but the terms of his plea agreement, including his maximum sentencing exposure, were explained to him. Affirmed.
