Court of Appeals of Washington May 12, 1978, 2655-2 (State v. Brooks)

Soule, J.

Defendant was charged with, and convicted of, murder in the first degree. He appeals.

The assignments of error present three groups of issues. (1) Should a change of venue have been granted because of pretrial publicity and community attitude? (2) Was evidence of other crimes and misconduct improperly admitted to the defendant's prejudice?
