City of Auburn v. Hedlund

¶1 Teresa Hedlund was charged as an accomplice to reckless driving and DUI (driving under the influence), furnishing alcohol to a minor, and furnishing tobacco to a minor. At the close of the city’s evidence, Hedlund moved to have the reckless driving and DUI charges dismissed, arguing that under RCW 9A.08.020(5) she was a victim and thus could not be an accomplice.
