Clark County Superior Court 20-1-01721-3
State of Washington, Respondent v. Quan H. Celestine, Appellant
Did the trial court err when it granted the State’s motion to strike juror of color for cause, based on the juror’s prior contact with law enforcement officers, distrust of law enforcement, and close relationship with people who had been stopped, arrested, or convicted of a crime?
Is witness tampering as defined by RCW 9A.72.120(1)(a) and (b) an alternative means crime, and if so, did the State present sufficient evidence to prove both means? Must Celestine’s protection order violation convictions be dismissed because the no-contact order no longer was in effect at the time of trial?
