Hunter v. United States · ¶72

If a defendant may prospectively waive the right to appeal his sentence, too, one might wonder what's to stop prosecutors from pushing their luck further yet. Might we eventually face plea agreements that include prospective waivers of the defendant's right to complain about future unreasonable searches and seizures of his home? See L. Gill, Virginia Governor Vetoes a Ban on Plea Deals that Waive People's Constitutional Rights, Bolts (Apr. 14, 2026), https://perma.cc/ 3FL2-LBNB. Or prospective waivers of a defendant's right to seek a jury (rather than bench) trial in future proceedings if he ever is charged with another crime? See P. Hamburger, Purchasing Submission 165 (2021).
