Division 1 Court of Appeals

State of Washington, Respondent. v. Shayne Curtis Baker, Appellant


  • Shayne C. Baker was convicted of felony murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, two counts of robbery in the first degree, assault in the first degree, and theft of a motor vehicle. He requests this court reverse his convictions on multiple bases, including an erroneously issued first aggressor instruction, prosecutorial misconduct, the court commenting on the evidence, insufficient evidence for felony murder, erroneous denial of his request for an accomplice testimony instruction, and cumulative error. In the alternative, he argues this court should reverse and remand for resentencing because his two murder convictions violate his right to be free from double jeopardy. COA #861255I.

Snohomish County #23-1-00174-31.
