Division 1 Court of Appeals

State v. Abdullahi

 

Yusuf Abdullahi appeals his conviction of felony physical control of a vehicle while under the influence. He challenges as unconstitutional the use of statements he made to police before receiving Miranda warnings. He also challenges the denial of his motion to dismiss based on contamination in the toxicology lab that tested his blood, arguing he was prejudiced by either the use of unreliable test results or because the continuances forced him to choose between his right to a speedy trial or competent counsel. He additionally argues cumulative error deprived him of his right to a fair trial, and his combined period of incarceration and community custody exceeds the statutory maximum. COA # 858742. King County Superior Court # 22-1-00885-3.
