State V. Stackhouse

Tobias Robert Stackhouse appeals his conviction of murder in the first degree. Mr. Stackhouse, a 17-year-old with no criminal history when the offense was committed, contends the court erred by denying his request for a declination hearing in juvenile court. He also asserts the court violated his right to a speedy trial. Finally, he contends RCW 13.04.030 (as amended by Laws of 1994, 1st Sp. Sess., ch. 7, sec. 519,) is unconstitutional. We reject each contention and affirm.
