State of Washington v L.D.E.P. Following a bench trial, 13-year-old L.P. was convicted of three counts of attempted arson in the first degree, and two counts of arson in the first degree. He argues on appeal that statements he made during police interviews should not have been admitted at trial, and that the trial court erred by denying defense’s motion to sever multiple claims. COA #840819. Snohomish County Superior Court #21-8-00180-31.
