State of Washington v. Emmanuel Perez
- A jury found Emmanuel Perez guilty of murder in the second degree. He argues the court erred because it (1) deprived him of his right to present a defense when it limited the scope of his expert’s testimony and denied his request for a missing evidence instruction, (2) denied one of the justifiable homicide jury instructions, and (3) ordered a maximum standard range sentence when he requested an exceptional downward sentence based on racial disproportionality. Additionally, Perez argues the prosecutor engaged in misconduct. COA #870041. Snohomish County Superior Court #21-1-00665-31.
