The State later used this conviction as a “strike” under the Persistent Offender Accountability Act (POAA) of the Sentencing Reform Act of 1981, chapter 9.94A RCW. In an unpublished decision, this court concluded that the transfer of Mr. Bailey’s case to adult court was proper and, therefore, the robbery conviction could be used as a strike under the POAA.
