State v. Hovig

¶1 Jessie Hovig appeals his bench trial conviction and exceptional sentence for second degree assault of a child. Hovig argues that (1) the trial court erred in failing to enter findings of fact on the “recklessly inflicts” element of the crime, (2) the evidence was insufficient to support the trial court’s finding that Hovig “recklessly” inflicted “substantial bodily harm,” and (3) the trial court abused its discretion in imposing an exceptional 60-month sentence. We affirm.
