  • 2014 State of the Judiciary
    2014 State of the Judiciary presented by Chief Justice Barbara A. Madsen on behalf of the courts of Washington State of the Judicary 2014 reetings Governor Inslee, members of the Washington State Legislature, judges, Gelected officials and residents of Washington, It has become a tradition for the Chief Justice to provide a written State of the Judiciary report at the start of the short session of the legislature and I do so now with appreciation for the opportunity to provide a brief look at how the courts of Washington fared in 2013, as well as the challenges coming in 2014. What follows is a series of articles and interviews that highlight some activities and accomplishments of the judicial branch this past year. I believe this new approach to reporting on the state of our courts will be more informative and will put a human face on the issues affecting the courts and the people we serve. The past year has been one of innovative steps forward in addressing intractable access-to-justice problems (see page 4), advancing the highly effective therapeutic courts model with new statewide resources and research (page 6), working to keep age-old public defense promises (page 8), advancing and leveraging technology to keep systems safe and help courts handle ever-growing caseloads (pages 10 & 11), reaching out to residents in old and new ways (page 15), building new frameworks for accessing court administrative records (page 17), honoring history with an eye on the future (page 18), looking at old organizational structures with a critical eye toward efficiency improvements (pages 20 & 21), performing vital work on public defense and civil legal aid systems (pages 22 and 24), and celebrating with families and children (page 26).

  • Editorial: Recommended for State Supreme Court, Position 8: Gonzalez
    https://www.yakimaherald.com/opinion/editorial-recommended-for-state-supreme-court-position-gonzalez/article_6d3d28a2-d3ef-11e8-8168-430c158b9238.html Editorial: Recommended for state Supreme Court, Position 8: Gonzalez By The Yakima Herald-Republic editorial board Oct 22, 2018 Updated Oct 22, 2018 Buy Now Even if he wasn’t widely viewed in the legal community as a fair and contemplative jurist, even if he hadn’t been anointed by 11 bar associations with the highest rating of “exceptionally well qualified,” even if hadn’t worked collaboratively with his fellow justices and extensively on community outreach, Steven Gonzalez would be our overwhelming choice to be reelected to the Washington State Supreme Court, Position 8. The reason: His challenger, Bellevue attorney Nathan Choi, lacks any judicial experience and seemingly a modicum of ethical grounding, as well as failing to display a nuanced grasp of state law during an hour-long meeting with the Herald-Republic editorial board. Choi, simply, is not a worthy candidate. When he unsuccessfully ran in 2017 for appellate judge, he was found to have failed to abide by state campaign disclosure rules. He also was admonished by the King County Bar Association for falsely describing himself as a judge in campaign ads. He was sued by the state Attorney General for not following Public Disclosure Commission laws for reporting campaign expenses and contributions. In May, after Choi failed to respond to the AG’s office, a Thurston County judge granted an order of default against him. Any of those actions alone would raise serious doubts about a candidate’s fitness for office.

  • Washington Supreme Court Alters Sentencing Structure for Accomplices
    Washington Supreme Court alters sentencing structure for accomplices By Adam Lynn The News Tribune February 5, 2015 A divided Washington State Supreme Court has overturned the exceptional sentence of a Pierce County man in a decision that some believe will change fundamentally the way criminal accomplices are sentenced in Washington. In a 5-4 opinion released Thursday, the state’s high court ruled that convicted identity thief Larry Hayes should have received a standard-range sentence after being convicted of a host of felonies in 2009. Instead, he got a 15-year term under a provision that allows prosecutors to seek extra punishment for egregious offenders. The majority ordered the case back to Pierce County for re-sentencing. At issue is how people charged as accomplices should be treated under the law at sentencing. For years, Washington law has prescribed that accomplices and principle actors in a crime be exposed to the same culpability, a concept Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist on Thursday called “in for a penny, in for a pound.” In an opinion written by Justice Charles Johnson and signed by Justices Charles Wiggins, Susan Owens, Mary Fairhurst and Sheryl Gordon McCloud, the majority ruled that should not always be the case, especially where sentencing is concerned. Until Thursday, when a prosecutor sought an exceptional sentence for a criminal defendant, he or she had to prove to a jury that certain aggravating factors made the crime worse than usual. The requirement applied to principle actors and accomplices alike. Thursday’s majority opinion said the blanket application to accomplices is improper.
