State v. Conrad

When sentencing a sexual offender to an indeterminate sentence under RCW 9.94A.712, the court does not violate the Sixth Amendment as set forth in Blakelyby imposing an exceptional minimum based on its own findings, so long as the minimum sentence imposed does not exceed the statutory maximum. State v. Clarke, 156 Wn.2d 880, 886-87, 134 P.3d 188 (2006).
