Personal Restraint Petition of Folsom. Kollin Folsom filed this personal restraint petition challenging his 50-year sentence imposed for a murder he committed when he was 16 years old. The statute providing certain juvenile offenders with an early release hearing after serving 20 years does not apply to him because he pleaded guilty to another crime as an adult. He seeks relief on three bases. First, he argues that aggravating circumstances were found by a court and not a jury, in violation of Blakely v. Washington. He also argues that his collateral attack is not time-barred because there is newly discovered evidence in the form of new studies regarding juvenile neurodevelopment. Finally, he argues his sentence is unconstitutional because was sentenced as an adult for crime he committed as a juvenile in violation of In re Personal Restraint of Houston-Sconiers. COA #859056, Division Two #555026. Clark County Superior Court #99-1-02107-0.
