  • 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.

On Nov. 3 campaign statement: “Kyl has repeatedly voted for tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas, and he has voted against a measure that prohibited outsourcing of work done under federally funded contracts,” said Pederson spokesman Kevin Griffis, who added that Pederson “wants more protections [in trade pacts] related to child labor rules and environmental safeguards to help protect U.S. jobs.”2 House Arizona 1: GOP Rep.

    State Supreme Court: activist justices, or just different?

Back row from left: Justice Sheryl Gordon McCloud, Justice Charles K. Wiggins, Justice Steven C. Gonzlez and Justice Mary Yu. Front row from left: Justice Mary E. Fairhurst, Associate Chief Justice Charles W. Johnson, Chief Justice Barbara A. Madsen, Justice Susan Owens and Justice Debra L. Stephens. (Washington Courts) Critics argue the Washington Supreme Court has grown more liberal and activist. Defenders say the justices are doing their jobs — applying the constitution without regard to popular opinion. By Jim Brunner Nina Shapiro Seattle Times staff reporters Even before this month’s tumultuous ruling quashing charter schools as unconstitutional, the Washington Supreme Court had been a central player in some of the state’s biggest recent political fights. Last year the court held the state in contempt for inadequate funding of public schools — and it followed up in August with a $100,000-a-day fine. Three years ago, justices struck down a voter-approved measure requiring the Legislature to have a supermajority to enact tax increases. The high-profile rulings generally have been applauded by unions and Democratic- leaning groups, while angering conservatives and some business organizations. The ideological makeup of the court shifted over the past several years, with the departure of its two most conservative members, James Johnson and Richard Sanders, as well as centrist former Chief Justice Gerry Alexander. Critics argue the court has grown more liberal and activist.
