Division 1 Court of Appeals

State of Washington v. Richard Frances Forshaw

 

Richard Frances Forshaw appeals his conviction for rape of a child in the first degree. He contends the trial court erred when it admitted hearsay statements made by the child victim during an examination by a nurse examiner. He also argues the State committed prosecutorial misconduct during its closing argument and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his counsel failed to object to the alleged prosecutorial misconduct. COA# 875400. Snohomish County Superior Court# 19-1-01951-31.
