State v. Masangkay
Court of Appeals of Washington
Decided June 7, 2004No. 52096-2-IPublishedCited by 9 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtColeman, J.
Jason Masangkay pleaded guilty to robbery in the second degree and was placed in custody at a juvenile detention facility. Less than three years after his release, he decided to join the Marines. He requested and was granted a “certificate of rehabilitation” to reinstate his right to possess firearms.
We reverse the trial court because RCW 9.41.040(3), which contains the “certificate of rehabilitation” language Masangkay relies upon, cannot be reasonably interpreted as authorization for Washington courts to issue certificates of rehabilitation.
