A: In California, appealing a criminal conviction after accepting a plea deal can potentially affect the terms of the agreement and any waivers, including a "Harvey waiver," that you may have signed. The enforceability of these terms can depend on various factors, such as the specifics of your case, the plea agreement, and legal procedures.

A:
In California, if you appeal a plea deal, it could potentially impact the terms of the deal or result in the deal being modified or withdrawn. Whether a "Harvey waiver" can be taken back would depend on the specific circumstances and the terms of the plea agreement. It's advisable to consult with an attorney to understand the potential consequences and options regarding your specific case.
