According to both Rule 11 C 1 A&C the Court may overrule prosecutor reccommendations and agreements. The Court is NOT bound by any brokered agreement.
Pollard was given a plea agreement which the Court overruled. The plea agreement stipulates that the Court ruling is unable to be appealed. The agreement means he pleaded guilty and is essentially at the mercy of the Court.
