criminal conduct analysis in Washington

2014This exception “is generally construed narrowly to disallow most claims that multiple offenses constitute the same criminal act.” State v. Porter, 133 Wn.2d 177, 181 , 942 P.2d 974 (1997). ¶37 The parties agree that the time, place, and victim elements of the same criminal conduct test were met in this case.

2024In doing so, the court analyzed State v. Dunaway, 109 Wn.2d 207 , 743 P.2d 1237 , 749 P.2d 160 (1988), which “directed courts to ‘focus on the extent to which the criminal intent, as objectively viewed, changed from one crime to the next’” for purposes of analyzing the third factor of the same criminal conduct analysis.

2023Following the amendment, this court determined that the objective intent test from Dunaway continued to be part of the same criminal conduct analysis for defining “same criminal intent.” Postamendment cases have consistently applied the Dunaway test, requiring that courts look to the objective statutory criminal intent of the crimes charged, as did the court in State v. Chenoweth, 185 Wn.2d 218 , 370 P.3d 6 (2016).

2023State v. Lessley Applied the Dunaway Standard While I agree with the majority that State v. Lessley, 118 Wn.2d 773, 777 , 827 P.2d 996 (1992), affirmed Dunaway, the majority misreads Lessley in saying that the case applied a statutory intent test to determine objective criminal intent under a same criminal conduct analysis.

2023But, in State v. Bobenhouse, 166 Wn.2d 881, 896 , 214 P.3d 907 (2009), this court began to conflate the same criminal conduct test with the test for double jeopardy, leading to the confusion evidenced in this case.

2023The same is true of his reliance on Torngren, in which Division Three of this court pronounced that a sentencing court “must apply the same criminal conduct test to multiple prior convictions that a court has not already concluded amount to the same criminal conduct.” 147 Wn. App. at 563 (citing RCW 9.94A.525(5)(a)(i)).

2023Bobenhouse quoted Calle, but that language appears in Calle’s analysis of double jeopardy and does not relate to the same criminal conduct analysis. 166 Wn.2d at 896 (quoting Calle, 125 Wn.2d at 780 ).

2016From this discussion, it is clear that Calle supports the notion that while separate convictions for incest and rape based on the same incident of sexual intercourse do not offend the double jeopardy clause, calculation of defendant’s offender score is still subject to a separate same criminal conduct analysis under the sentencing statute (currently RCW 9.94A.589(1)(a)). ¶36 Notwithstanding Calle’s distinction between double jeopardy and same criminal conduct, the majority repeats the mistake in the Bobenhouse dicta, stating, “[Legislative history supports the ‘conclusion that the Legislature

2016But while Tili is factually different from the present case, in my view Tills discussion of how to conduct the same criminal conduct analysis is instructive here. ¶18 As Tili noted, “For multiple crimes to be treated as the ‘same criminal conduct’ at sentencing, the crimes must have (1) been committed at the same time and place; (2) involved the same victim; and (3) involved the same objective criminal intent.” 139 Wn.2d at 123 (citing State v.

2003The Goodwin court specifically recognized that a defendant who stipulates to his Washington convictions may waive the right to argue on appeal that several of those earlier convictions should have been counted as the same criminal conduct. [1] 146 Wash.2d at 875 , 50 P.3d 618 .
