1Opinion of the CourtScholfield, C.J.
Leslie Killion appeals his conviction for possession of stolen property in the second degree, arguing that insufficient evidence supported the State's case against him and that prosecutorial misconduct deprived him of a fair trial. We reverse.
Facts
Killion and his codefendant, Robert Plank (whose case is not before us in this appeal), arrived at the U. S. Customs Service border checkpoint at Sumas, Washington, in What-com County, at approximately 6:30 a.m. on January 12, 1985. They were traveling from British Columbia to Washington in a car which was later reported as stolen.
