Re: changing of sentence
The court can change a sentence, but normally the defendant would have a right to be heard, at a hearing, before a change could be made. Contact your lawyer about it.

Re: changing of sentence
A sentence cannot be unilaterally changed after it is imposed. It would seem there was some confusion as to what was agreed upon at court and how you were originally sentenced.
For a consultation call 612.240.8005.
