STATE v. CLARK

No. 17175-9-II.

78 Wn. App. 471 (1995)

898 P.2d 854

THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, v. GARITH EVART CLARK, SR., Appellant.

The Court of Appeals of Washington, Division Two.

July 10, 1995.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Craig Andrew Ritchie, of Doherty Ritchie & Cruikshank, court-appointed, for appellant.

Robert William Strohmeyer, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, for respondent.

HOUGHTON, J.

Garith Evart Clark, Sr., appeals from a conviction of first-degree arson, contending that the trial court erred in excluding evidence implicating another suspect and that the evidence of malice was insufficient. Because we find the excluded evidence implicating another sufficient to meet and neutralize or overcome the State's evidence, we reverse and remand.
