State v. Thompsongreen2 sentences2014Thompson, 173 Wn.2d at 873-74 . ¶21 Imposing a favorable presumption when deciding a motion for postconviction DNA testing affects only whether the DNA will be tested; it does not affect whether the individual will be granted a new trial. 2014Nothing in Riofta supports a reading of the statute that would allow the petitioner in a case such as this to rest on the presumption of favorable test results alone. ¶34 Further, the majority contends that the present case is factually analogous to Thompson , where the court “found that even in the context of all the strong evidence of guilt, DNA testing should be granted because if the DNA did not match, the convicted individual was most likely innocent.” Majority at 261. 9 I disagree. ¶35 In Thompson , we overturned the trial court’s dismissal of the petitioner’s motion for postconviction D | 1 | 1 |

State v. Crumpton
green
2 sentences2026However, the Supreme Court also engaged in the proper substantive analysis and expressly concluded that, applying the proper favorable presumption, “Crumpton’s motion for testing must be granted.” Id. at 261 . 2015And, while the judge’s conclusion that RCW 10.73.170 does not impose a favorable presumption of exculpatory DNA test results is clearly wrong in light of our recent decision in State v. Crumpton, 181 Wn.2d 252, 255 , 332 P.3d 448 (2014), the ultimate holding denying further DNA testing is sustainable. | 5 | 2015–2026 |
