Split Seventh Circuit decision on an appeal waiver
A notable Seventh Circuit panel, composed of Chief Judge Easterbrook and Judges Posner and Wood, splits over enforcing a plea with an appeal waiver in US v. Sura, No. 05-1478 (7th Cir. Jan. 2, 2008) (available here). Writing at great length for the majority, Judge Wood finds a way to let the defendant out of his plea. Chief Judge Easterbrook is not impressed with the majority's work, and he minces few words in explaining why.
