Background

  • Defendant was convicted, after a jury trial, of multiple offenses arising from several criminal episodes.
  • On appeal, defendant raises six assignments of error; four are rejected without discussion.
  • Defendant’s third and fourth assignments claim plain error for failing to apply the shift-to-column I rule when sentencing Count 32 (first-degree robbery) consecutive to Count 29 (same episode) and Count 1 (different victim).
  • The court agrees the trial court failed to apply the shift-to-column I rule to Count 32 and remands for resentencing.
  • The court rejects applying the rule to Count 13 because it involves felon in possession with a different procedural context and notes that Measure 11 rules may apply differently.
  • Remand for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.

Issues

Issue Plaintiff's Argument Defendant's Argument Held
Did the trial court plainly err by not applying the shift-to-column I rule to Count 32? State argues the rule should apply when consecutive sentences arise from the same episode. Armstrong argues the rule should have been applied to determine the proper consecutive term. Yes; remand for resentencing to apply the rule.
