About this episode
The episode discusses the Supreme Court case Hunter v. United States regarding appeal waivers and sentencing rights.
A case in which the Court will decide (1) whether the only permissible exceptions to a general appeal waiver are for claims of ineffective assistance of counsel or that the sentence exceeds the statutory maximum; and (2) whether an appeal waiver applies when the sentencing judge advises the defendant that he has a right to appeal and the government does not object.
