Washington v. Mclean

Bruce A. McLean appeals his conviction for first degree robbery, vehicular assault, and hit and run. He claims the trial court erred when it allowed the admission of certain of his prior felony convictions to impeach his testimony. Upon hearing the decision, McLean declined to testify. He claims the evidentiary ruling was in error under ER 609 and under the plurality decision of State v. Brown, 111 Wash. 2d 124, 761 P.2d 588 (1988) (Brown I), affd as modified on reconsideration, 113 Wash. 2d 520, 782 P.2d 1013, 787 P.2d 906 (1989) (Brown II). We affirm.
