State v. Bryant
Court of Appeals of Washington

1Opinion of the CourtAgid, C.J.
— A Snohomish County trial court dismissed Vincent Bryant’s first degree robbery prosecution on the theory that an earlier King County judgment had already litigated the determinative facts. Snohomish County appealed, arguing that its case against Bryant presented different legal and factual issues. We agree. Because the Kang County court did not consider whether or to what extent the contractual immunity agreement Bryant voluntarily negotiated with King County bound Snohomish County law enforcement officials, the trial court erred by applying collateral estoppel in this case.
