STATE v. SIMMONS

No. 27513-9-II.

51 P.3d 828 (2002)

STATE of Washington, Respondent, v. Jeffrey Rosander SIMMONS, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of Washington, Division 2.

August 9, 2002.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

J. Andrew Toynbee, Dpty Pros Attorney, Chehalis, WA, for Respondent.

Jodi R. Backlund, Manek Mistry, Chehalis, WA, for Appellant.

HUNT, C.J.

Jeffrey Rosander Simmons appeals his forgery conviction, arguing that there was insufficient evidence of "intent to injure" and, therefore, it was reversible error to have charged alternative means of committing the forgery. We hold that within the context of this case, intent to injure and intent to defraud are not alternative means but, rather, describe the same facts and mental state, sufficient to support the conviction. We affirm.
