2012In doing so, it overlooks the fact that Powell’s rule does not even apply to this case. ¶25 In State v. Powell, five justices agreed that aggravating factors must be charged in the information and proved to a jury before an enhanced sentence may be imposed. 167 Wn.2d 672, 688 , 223 P.3d 493 (2009) (plurality opinion) (Stephens, J., concurring).

Powell, 167 Wn.2d 672, 684 , 223 P.3d 493 (2009); id. at 689 (Stephens, J., concurring) (“Any facts justifying a sentence above an offense’s standard sentencing range are functionally equivalent to elements of the crime.”); id. at 691 (Owens, J., dissenting) (“Aggravating Circumstances Are Essential Elements of a Crime”). *679 ¶12 But this case does not involve a Powell error, and the State is correct that Apprendi and Ring have little bearing on the question here.
