STATE v. LEE

No. 21689-2-II.

979 P.2d 458 (1999)

STATE of Washington, Appellant, v. Thomas LEE, Respondent.

Court of Appeals of Washington, Division 2.

June 25, 1999.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John Scott Blonien, Assistant Attorney General, Olympia, Kathleen Proctor, Pierce County Deputy Pros Atty, Tacoma, for Petitioner.

Laurason Taylor Hunt, Joseph Taylor Hunt, Bellevue, for Respondent.

HOUGHTON, J.

The State appeals from an award reimbursing Thomas Lee for attorney fees, costs, and interest he incurred in defending a fourth degree assault charge. We hold that the district and superior courts correctly awarded attorney fees and costs under RCW 9A.16.110, the "self-defense reimbursement statute,"1 but incorrectly awarded interest. Thus, we affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for further proceedings.
