State v. S.A.W.

¶1 SW, a juvenile, appeals his adjudications for count I, first degree trafficking in stolen property;1 count II, first degree possession of stolen property;2 and count III, second degree taking a motor vehicle without permission.3 He argues that the juvenile court erred in failing to hold a CrR 3.5 hearing and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. Because the juvenile court failed to conduct an independent assessment of the credibility and voluntariness and, thus, the admissibility of SW’s postarrest oral incriminating statement, we reverse his adjudications and remand.
