Personal Restraint Petition of John H. Schoenhals (855930)
The trial court sentenced Schoenhals to a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of release or parole after he was convicted of aggravated murder for a crime committed when he was twenty years old. Almost forty years later, he sought a new sentencing hearing based on a case he argues is a significant change in the law that should apply to his sentence. COA # 855930. King County Superior Court # 85-1-00123-7 SEA.
