Court of Appeals of Washington December 24, 2007, No. 56941-4-I (State v. Murawski)

¶1 — The State charged Barby Murawski with theft in the first degree before the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Blakely v. Washington1 rendered Washington’s procedures for imposing exceptional sentences unconstitutional. She pleaded guilty after RCW 9.94A.537, a statute intended to bring Washington law into compliance with Blakely, became effective.
