STATE of Washington, Respondent,
v.
Anthony MOSES, Sr., Petitioner.
No. 70742-1.
Supreme Court of Washington, En Banc.
Argued October 18, 2001.
Decided January 10, 2002.
JOHNSON, J.
This case involves whether the double jeopardy statute, RCW 10.43.040, bars Cowlitz County from prosecuting a defendant previously convicted in tribal court for similar offenses based upon the same incident. Because Indian tribes are not among the sovereigns included within the statute's meaning, we hold it does not. We affirm the Court of Appeals on different grounds.
