State v. Avila

— Juvenile Wilson Avila was convicted of intimidating his teacher, violating RCW 28A.635.100. We decide an implied element of the charge is intent to make a threat, not intent that the threat be conveyed. However, because of the language of the statute, we decide further that the threat must actually intimidate the victim. Al*887though we decide the evidence is sufficient to support and affirm Mr. Avila’s conviction, pursuant to controlling case law, we vacate the sentence and remand for entry of the necessary ultimate findings and resentencing.
