State v. Jackmon

Ollie Wendall Jackmon appeals the imposition of an exceptional sentence for his conviction for first degree attempted murder. The court sentenced Jackmon to 320 months; the standard range is 180 to 240 months. Jackmon contends: (1) that the record does not support the court's reasons for imposing the exceptional sentence; and (2) that the court's reasons do not justify a sentence outside the standard range.
