Outcome
The Washington Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals decision and upheld the defendant's murder conviction despite a 12-year prosecutorial delay, finding that while the State's delay was negligent, it did not violate due process rights because the prejudice from loss of witness testimony was insufficient to justify dismissal of the serious murder charge.
