In Re Application For Relief From Personal Restraint Of Rangel

Julian Rangel seeks relief from personal restraint imposed following his jury convictions on ten counts of first-degree assault. He contends the court sentenced him incorrectly to consecutive terms. He also asserts that CrR 7.2(d) required the court to enter findings of fact and conclusions of law with respect to his sentences, and it did not do so. This court appointed counsel to address the propriety of the consecutive sentences. Counsel raises, as additional issues, whether the jury instructions subjected Mr. Rangel to double jeopardy, and whether the evidence was sufficient to sustain his convictions.
