Did you read the opinion? I did.

This guy is almost surely guilty, but the prosecutorial abuse was extremely blatant. While this guy will be convicted in a new trial, what about prosecutorial abuses of this nature in cases wher the accused is actually innocent.

And for your information, the Washington State Supreme Court, is not criminal defendant friendly. In fact, it is just the opposite in almost all cases.

There are two famous -at least in the crimal law area - cases where the SCOTUS reversed by 9-0 votes decisions involving constitutional violations in Washington cases.

Theses cases are Blakely v. Washington and Crawford v. Washington.
