STATE v. BANKS

No. 72354-1.

65 P.3d 1198 (2003)

149 Wash.2d 38

STATE of Washington, Respondent, v. Eric Ladon BANKS, Petitioner.

Supreme Court of Washington, En Banc.

Decided April 3, 2003.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nielsen, Broman & Assoc., Dana Nelson, Seattle, for Petitioner.

Norm Maleng, King County Prosecutor, James Whisman, Shaya Calvo, Deputy County Prosecutors, for Respondent.


IRELAND, J.

Defendant claimed error in his bench trial conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree because the judge's findings did not expressly include the element of knowledge as required by a case decided after his conviction. Because the court's unchallenged written findings necessitate an inference of knowledge, we hold any error in the findings harmless beyond a reasonable doubt and affirm the conviction.
