Waiver of Appeal Invalid, Sentence Excessive.

Defendant’s right to appeal was not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived—it was not established that defendant was aware the right to appeal is separate and distinct from those rights automatically forfeited upon a plea of guilty.  Defendant’s sentence was deemed excessive.  The sentence was reduced in the interest of justice in light of defendant’s age, the mitigating facts of the case and defendant’s lack of a juvenile record (youthful offender).
