Court of Appeals of Washington September 7, 2001, No. 25849-8-II (State v. Goodman)

Armstrong, C.J.

After years of domestic abuse culminated in a heated verbal and physical attack, Lee Goodman’s wife obtained a protection order against him and the State filed harassment and assault charges. A few months later, while released on bail, Goodman returned to his wife’s home and burned it down, killing her pet dog, Jazz.
