State v. McFarland
Court of Appeals of Washington
1Opinion of the Court
Petrich, J. *
— James McFarland appeals his convictions for burglary in the first degree, kidnap in the first degree, attempted robbery in the first degree, and as a felon in possession of a short firearm. He complains of prosecutorial misconduct, the failure to merge the crimes, and the insufficiency of the evidence. In his pro se brief, McFarland claims he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his attorney failed to challenge the legality of his arrest, which led to the seizure of inculpatory evidence, and failed to allow him to testify in his own behalf. We affirm.
