Washington v. Handyside

Lawrence Handyside appeals his convictions for statutory rape in the first degree and indecent liberties, contending that he was denied due process of law and equal protection of the laws because the State failed to charge him with the specific crimes of incest in the first degree and incest in the second degree. At oral argument, Handyside presented the additional issue of jury unanimity. Permission was granted to file supplemental briefs on that issue. We affirm the conviction for statutory rape and reverse the conviction for indecent liberties.
