No. 63016-4-I.

241 P.3d 464 (2010)

STATE of Washington, Respondent, v. Erick Deshum JORDAN, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of Washington, Division 1.

November 1, 2010.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Susan F. Wilk , Gregory Charles Link , Washington Appellate Project, Seattle, WA, Erick Deshum Jordan , WA State Penitentiary, for Appellant.

Donna Lynn Wise , Attorney at Law, Seattle, WA, for Respondent.


PUBLISHED IN PART

ELLINGTON, J.

¶ 1 Comparability of out-of-state convictions depends on the elements of the crimes, not the available defenses. A difference in the laws of self-defense does not render a conviction incomparable, and Erick Jordan's Texas conviction for voluntary manslaughter was properly included in his offender score. Finding no merit in his remaining claims, we affirm his conviction and sentence.
