State v. Button

Court of Appeals of Washington

1Opinion of the Court

*444¶1 Charlotte Ann Button appeals a sentence condition requiring her to stand on a street corner holding a sign stating, “I stole from kids. Charlotte Button.” Button contends that the trial court lacked authority to impose this condition and that it violated her rights under the First and Eighth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Because there is no statutory authority for the sign-holding condition, we need not reach Button’s constitutional challenges, and we remand for the trial court to strike the sign-holding condition from her judgment and sentence.
