STATE v. PETTITT

No. 3039-2.

22 Wn. App. 689 (1979)

591 P.2d 862

THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, v. LOWELL THOMAS PETTITT, Appellant.

The Court of Appeals of Washington, Division Two.

February 21, 1979.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Searle & Brosey and Kenneth G. Johnson, for appellant (appointed counsel for appeal).

Jeremy Randolph, Prosecuting Attorney, for respondent.

PEARSON, C.J.

Lowell Thomas Pettitt was sentenced to life imprisonment for taking a motor vehicle without the owner's permission and for being a habitual criminal. He contends that the State lacked jurisdiction to prosecute him because he stole the vehicle in Oregon, not Washington, and he protests the length of his sentence as being cruel and unusual punishment. We affirm the conviction and sentence.
