Kahookele v. State

In May 1995, appellant Edmund Kahookele pleaded no contest to engaging in organized criminal activity by conspiring during the months of May through July 1993 to commit burglary of a building and theft of more than $20,000. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. 71.02 (West Supp. 2004-05). As called for in a plea bargain agreement, the district court deferred adjudication of guilt and placed Kahookele on community supervision for ten years. In July 2004, the court adjudicated Kahookele guilty and imposed a twenty-year prison sentence. This appeal followed.
