State v. Wood

1Opinion of the CourtSeinfeld, J.
— Michael Wood challenges the trial court’s severance of his case from that of his co-defendant’s, claiming that the court violated CrR 4.4(c)(2). He also argues that the trial court improperly calculated his offender score by refusing to “wash out” three prior felony convictions. Regarding the severance issue, we conclude that the trial court severed the case “before trial” and, thus, did not need Wood’s consent. Regarding the offender score issue, we conclude that the reasoning of State v. Watkins, 86 Wn. App. 852, 939. P.2d 1243 (1997) controls. Thus, we affirm.
