Even if the judge planned on reneging on a plea agreement with the DA's office, it is within his right to do so. A judge may refuse to honor a plea agreement they feel does not satisfy the requirements of the case or contravenes the law. A judge is also not legally bound to have to accept a deal made by the prosecution.
