State v. Pierce

Court of Appeals of Washington

Decided July 11, 2006No. 32861-5-IIPublishedCited by 22 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtPenoyar, J.

¶1 Wade William Pierce appeals his convictions for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, and possession of a dangerous weapon. He claims that his waiver of a jury trial was not valid under the state constitution. He also claims that a firearm enhancement was improper because only a deadly weapon enhancement was charged in the information. Finally, he claims that the trial court erroneously rejected his unwitting possession defense. We affirm the convictions but remand for resen-tencing on the deadly weapon enhancement.
