Opinion

No. 60078-8-I.

February 25, 2008.

Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court for King County, No. 04-1-01563-1, J. Wesley Saint Clair, J., entered May 4, 2007.


Reversed and remanded by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Matrice Walker appeals from his conviction for bail jumping, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence. Walker was terminated from drug court and convicted of a drug offense and bail jumping. Walker was also convicted of two other drug offenses. The bail jumping charge was based on Walker's failure to appear at a hearing set for April 22, 2005.

The State concedes that it failed to produce any evidence showing that Walker had notice of the April 22 hearing. Bail jumping requires proof that the defendant knew he was supposed to appear. RCW 9A.76.170. We accept the State's concession of error, reverse the conviction for bail jumping, and remand for resentencing.

Reversed and remanded.
