Division 1 Court of Appeals

State of Washington v Michael Gary Erickson. Michael Erickson was convicted of child rape and molestation in a trial conducted in 2021. He raises multiple issues on appeal, including a lack of jury unanimity regarding the multiple act crimes charged and the admissibility of evidence. He also claims he was denied his right to a fair trial because the court declined his request to continue the trial and proceeded with opaque masks during COVID-19, and that his public trial rights were violated.
