Washington Supreme Court October 23, 2014, No. 88234-7 (State v. Humphries)

lead-opinion

¶1 This case concerns whether an attorney can stipulate to an element of a charged crime over his client’s express objection and whether, in this case, any error was waived by the defendant. In addition, we must decide whether defense counsel’s failure to request a limiting instruction constituted ineffective assistance of counsel.
