BROWN, A.C.J. - A jury found Richard E. Cornwell, Jr. guilty of delivery of a
controlled substance, methamphetamine, within 1,000 feet of the perimeter of a school
grounds; possession of a controlled substance, heroin, with intent to deliver within 1,000
feet of the perimeter of a school grounds; possession of a controlled substance,
methamphetamine, with intent to deliver within 1,000 feet of the perimeter of a school
grounds while armed with a firearm; possession of controlled substance,
dihydrocodeine, with intent to deliver within 1,000 feet of the perimeter of a school
grounds while armed with a firearm; possession of a controlled substance, methadone,
with intent to deliver within 1,000 feet of the perimeter of a school grounds while armed
with a firearm; use of drug paraphernalia; second degree possession of stolen property;
two counts of possession of a stolen firearm; possession of an unlawful firearm, and first
degree trafficking in stolen property. After the jury read its verdict, Mr. Cornwell bolted
out of the courtroom. He later pleaded guilty to attempted first degree escape. Mr.
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wI No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
Cornwell appealed both cases. This court consolidated his appeals. Mr. Cornwell
contends (1) instructional error deprived Mr. Cornwell of his due process rights, (2)
several of the offenses encompass the "same criminal conduct" for charging and
sentencing purposes, (3) prosecutorial misconduct, (4) insufficient evidence to support
the trafficking in stolen property and both possession of a stolen firearm convictions,
and (5) ineffective assistance of counsel. In his pro se statement of additional grounds
for review, Mr. Cornwell raises eight assignments of error mostly paralleling appellate
counsel's arguments. Neither appellate counsel nor Mr. Cornwell, pro se. raise issues
relating to the escape conviction; accordingly, we dismiss that appeal (cause no. 31762­
5-111) as abandoned. See Mueller v. Miller, 82 Wn. App. 236, 252-53, 917 P.2d 604(1996) (dismissal appropriate of consolidated appeal when no relief can be granted in
the consolidated matter). We affirm.
FACTS
Walla Walla Police Department detectives arranged for a confidential informant
(CI). who had purchased narcotics from Mr. Cornwell before, to purchase controlled
substances from him again at Mr. Cornwell's home. The CI purchased $40 worth of
methamphetamine while in the house. The CI observed Mr. Cornwell's garage was
empty. Based on this purchase. officers obtained a search warrant for the home.
Upon searching the home three days later, detectives found heroin,
methamphetamine, methadone, and dihydrocodeinone in a safe. Detectives located a
short-barreled shotgun, a .270 Savage rifle, an AR-1 0 rifle and case, an antique
2
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wI No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
Japanese rifle, and a Winchester shotgun. Jack McCaw identified the Japanese rifle
and the Winchester shotgun as items taken from his home in September 2012.
Smoking pipes with drug residue were located in a dresser in the master bedroom.
Detectives observed the once empty garage was now very full with little room to
walk through. In the garage, detectives located scales, plastic baggies, and a loaded
syringe. Additionally, they located items reported taken in burglaries around the area,
including televisions, power tools, other electronic items, several compound bows, a
sword, a grandfather clock, a tool chest, and bicycles.
Detectives obtained a second search warrant for an outbuilding, finding a stolen
car and other stolen property. In all, detectives seized such a large quantity of items
that it took two U-Haul trucks to remove the property.
When detectives informed Mr. Cornwell they discovered drugs and stolen
property, he admitted ownership of the heroin and methamphetamine found inside the
house; he admitted the property was his, but that he had bought it. He denied knowing
the property was stolen, but added "you can assume anything." Report of Proceedings
(RP) at 324. Later, when a detective asked if Mr. Cornwell was trading drugs for the
stolen items, he admitted he was and that "I just like to help people out." RP at 323.
The State charged Mr. Cornwell with delivery of methamphetamine within 1,000
feet of school grounds; four counts of possession with intent to deliver controlled
substances within 1,000 feet of school grounds, use of drug paraphernalia, first degree
possession of stolen property, two counts of possession of a stolen firearm (Winchester
3
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wI No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
shotgun and Japanese rifle), possession of an unlawful firearm (short-barreled
shotgun), and first degree trafficking in stolen property. On the four possession with
intent to deliver charges, the information states Mr. Cornwell "did knowingly and
unlawfully possess with intent to deliver. II Clerk's Papers (CP) at 52-53.
The matter proceeded to a jury trial. Defense counsel did not object to the
court's jury instructions. The to-convict jury instruction relating to the four possession
with intent to deliver charges state, "the defendant possessed the substance with intent
to deliver." CP at 73-76.
The prosecuting attorney made the following statements during closing
argument:
.... If all we had here was perhaps a couple of items,
maybe the two firearms that belonged to Mr. McCaw and
those were found, identified and returned to Mr. McCaw
there might be some difficulty as to whether or not Mr.
Cornwell knew that those firearms were stolen, okay?
Maybe somebody gave them to him as a gift or traded for
controlled substances or other property that he legitimately
had, you know, maybe one could wonder whether or not he
knew they were stolen.
But when you have the quantity, the mass quantity
that we had here in this house, that belonged to more than a
handful of victims and it was a multitude of items; a garage
full, in the house, a grandfather clock and other things that
would have sentimental value. The documents belonging to
the Carrillo family. You know, why would Mr. Cornwell have
in his residence citizen-citizenship paperwork, passport
paperwork belonging to a complete stranger?
Report of Proceedings (RP) at 441-42. Later, during rebuttal, the
prosecutor stated:
4
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wi No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
. . .. He had what we know is a lot of stolen property
and he admitted to having -- knowing that some of it was
stolen. He admits to buying some of that property.
You decide whether or not we have to have
admission from him, a statement from him that says he knew
all of that property was stolen. If you have to have that from
an individual who was engaging in this activity designates
consolidated cases as much as Mr. Cornwell was, if that's
reasonable.
RP at 469.
The jury found Mr. Cornwell guilty as charged. The court calculated Mr.
Cornwell's offender score at nine and sentenced him to total confinement of 124
months, including sentence enhancements. He appealed.
ANALYSIS
A. Instructions
The issue is whether Mr. Cornwell was denied a fair trial under due process
principles based on instructional error. He contends a discrepancy exists between the
information and the to-convict jury instructions relating to the four possession with intent
to deliver charges because the term, "knowingly and unlawfully possess" was included
in the information but not in the jury instructions. He argues "knowingly and unlawfully
possess," therefore, became essential elements of the crime.
Initially, we note this issue is raised for the first time on appeal. But, the failure to
include an essential element of a crime in a to-convict instruction is an error that can be
raised for the first time on appeal. State v. Mills, 154 Wn.2d 1, 6, 109 P .3d 415 (2005).
5
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wI No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
We review alleged errors of law in jury instructions de novo. State v. Hayward,
152 Wn. App. 632,641,217 P.3d 354 (2009). "Due process requires the State to bear
the 'burden of persuasion beyond a reasonable doubt of every essential element of a
crime.'" State v. Deal, 128 Wn.2d 693,698, 911 P.2d 996 (1996) (quoting State v.
Hanna, 123 Wn.2d 704,710,871 P.2d 135 (1994)). Thus, it is constitutional and
reversible error for the State to be relieved of its burden to prove every essential
element of a criminal offense beyond a reasonable doubt. Hayward, 152 Wn. App. at
641-42.
Mr. Cornwell's argument meshes the application of the essential elements rule to
the charging document and to the to-convict instruction. There are underlying purposes
for including an essential element in a charging document and including such element in
a to-convict instruction.
The rule that a charging document must include all essential elements of a crime
is grounded in the constitutional requirement that defendants be informed of the nature
and cause of the accusation against them. State v. Taylor, 140 Wn.2d 229, 236,996
P.2d 571 (2000). Thus, U[t]he 'primary goal' of the 'essential elements rule' is to give a
defendant notice of the nature of the crime charged so the defendant would be able to
prepare to defend against the charge." Id. (quoting State v. Kjorsvik, 117 Wn.2d 93,
101,812 P.2d 86 (1991)). The '''to convict' instruction must contain all of the elements
of the crime because it serves as a 'yardstick' by which the jury measures the evidence
to determine guilt or innocence." State v. Smith, 131 Wn.2d 258, 263, 930 P.2d 9176
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wI No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
(1997)). "It cannot be said that a defendant has had a fair trial if the jury must guess at
the meaning of an essential element of a crime or if the jury might assume that an
essential element need not be proved." Id.To convict Mr. Cornwell of unlawful possession of a controlled substance with
intent to deliver, the State had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he (1)
unlawfully possessed (2) with intent to deliver (3) a controlled substance. RCW
69.50.401 (1).
Here, the charging document states Mr. Cornwell "did knowingly and unlawfully
possess with intent to deliver." CP at 52-53. While the information adds the word
"knowingly" that is not contained in RCW 69.50.401 (1) this word is inherent with the
required mental state of intent. The mens rea was not changed. See Bishop v. City of
Spokane,~142 Wn. App. 165,171,173 P.3d 318 (2007) ("The change in wording (of
knowing to willful) does not 'plainly' indicate a change in the mens rea.). Thus, this
language in the information is sufficient to notify Mr. Cornwell of the nature and cause of
the accusation against them. Taylor, 140 Wn.2d at 229.
Turning to the to-convict instructions, they state to be guilty the jury must find "the
defendant possessed the substance with the intent to deliver." CP at 73-76. The jury
was further instructed, "A person acts with intent or intentionally when acting with the
objective or purpose to accomplish a result that constitutes a crime." CP at 98. Further
still, the jury was instructed, "A person knows or acts knowingly or with knowledge with
respect to a fact, circumstance or result when he or she is aware of that fact,
7
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wI No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
circumstance or result. It is not necessary that the person know that the fact,
circumstance or result is defined by law as being unlawful or an element of to the
crime." CP at 99. Jury instructions are sufficient when they allow counsel to argue their
theory of the case, are not misleading, and when read as a whole properly inform the
trier of fact of the applicable law. State v. Benn, 120 Wn.2d 631,654-55,845 P.2d 289(1993). In other words, each instruction is considered in the context of the "instructions
as a whole." Id. The instructions here meet this standard. The "to convict" instructions
contained all the essential elements of possession with intent to deliver as set forth in
RCW 69.50.401 (1). The additional instructions further clarified the term "intent" and
"knowingly." The jury was not left to "guess at the meaning of an essential element of a
crime" or to "assume that an essential element need not be proved." Smith, 131 Wn.2d
at 263.
Based on the above, neither the charging document nor the information violate
the essential elements rule. The State was not relieved of its burden to prove every
essential element of possession with intent to deliver beyond a reasonable doubt.
Hayward, 152 Wn. App. at 641-42. Thus, no constitutional or reversible error is present.
As such, we do not reach Mr. Cornwell's double jeopardy argument as to whether the
convictions should be dismissed with prejudice.
B. Same Criminal Conduct
The issue is whether Mr. Cornwell's four possession of a controlled substance
with intent to deliver charges encompass the same criminal conduct. He contends, for
8
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wi No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
the first time on appeal, these offenses have the same criminal intent, were committed
at the same time and place, and involve the same victim.
Mr. Cornwell's argument is foreclosed by State v. Nitsch, 100 Wn. App. 512, 997
P.2d 1000 (2000). There, the defendant attempted to argue for the first time on appeal
that the two crimes to which he had pleaded guilty constituted the same criminal
conduct. Id. at 517-18. The court rejected the attempt, noting the same criminal
conduct determination is, in part, a factual determination by the trial court and also is, in
part, a matter of judicial discretion. Id. at 523-24. We cannot know how the trial court
might have exercised its discretion in deciding the critical factual inquiries involved in
determining a same criminal conduct inquiry or if the trial court would have would have
exercised its discretion favorably to the defendant. Id. A trial court's failure to sua
sponte determine whether current offenses constitute the same criminal conduct is not a
challenge reviewable for the first time on appeal.
Nevertheless, crimes are considered the same criminal conduct if they require
the same criminal intent, are committed at the same time and place, and involve the
same victim. RCW 9.94A.589(1)(a). Here, the parties dispute solely whether the
offenses shared the same criminal intent. Whether crimes share the same criminal
intent depends on '''the extent to which the criminal intent, objectively viewed, changed
from one crime to the next. . . . This, in turn, can be measured in part by whether one
crime furthered the other.'" State v. Williams, 135 Wn.2d 365,368,957 P.2d 216 (1998)
(quoting State v. Vike, 125 Wn.2d 407, 411,885 P.2d 824 (1994». We look to the
9
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wI No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
record to find support about whether the crimes constitute the same criminal conduct.
State v. Graciano, 176 Wn.2d 531, 535, 295 P.3d 219 (2013). And, this court construes
RCW 9.94A.589(1)(a) narrowly to disallow most assertions of same criminal conduct.
Id. at 540. A defendant bears the burden of establishing that multiple crimes constitute
the same criminal conduct. Id. at 539.
Here, detectives found heroin, methamphetamine, methadone, and
dihydrocodeinone in a safe inside Mr. Cornwell's home. They discovered a once empty
garage was now filled with stolen property. When detectives questioned Mr. Cornwell
about their discovery, he admitted he was trading drugs for property and stated he liked
to "help people out." RP at 323. Based on the use of the plural word, "people" and the
quickly-filled garage with stolen property, Mr. Cornwell did not intend to deliver the
variety of drugs to a single purchaser. He dealt in high volume. The intent for multiple
transactions demonstrates different criminal intent. Compare Garza-Villaffea/, 123
Wn.2d at 50, where our Supreme Court found possession convictions encompassed
same criminal conduct when the "State presented no evidence to establish Garza-
Villarreal intended to deliver the heroin and cocaine in more than one transaction."
All elements must be met for multiple offenses to be considered the same
criminal conduct. Garza-Villarreal, 123 Wn.2d at 47. Because all elements are not
shown in Mr. Cornwell's case, his same criminal conduct arguments fail.
Alternatively, Mr. Cornwell contends the sentencing court should recalculate his
offender score and resentence him based on the same criminal conduct argument set
10
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wi No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
forth above. Although a criminal defendant may challenge an offender score for the first
time on appeal, a defendant waives that right when the alleged error is based on a
factual dispute or trial court discretion. Graciano, 176 Wn.2d at 538-39. As discussed
above, where a defendant is convicted of more than one crime, the trial court must
make discretionary decisions in determining whether those crimes arose from the same
criminal conduct. Nitsch, 100 Wn. App. at 523. Thus, by failing to raise the issue of
same criminal conduct at sentencing, a defendant waives the right to argue that issue
on appeal. State v. Jackson, 150 Wn. App. 877,892,209 P.3d 553 (2009). Because
Mr. Cornwell did not argue at sentencing that his offenses constituted the same criminal
conduct, he cannot raise this issue for the first time on appeal.
C. Evidence Sufficiency
The issue is whether sufficient evidence exists to support Mr. Cornwell's two
counts of possession of a stolen firearm (Winchester shotgun and Japanese rifle) and
first degree trafficking in stolen property convictions. Mr. Cornwell contends the State
failed to show knowledge that the guns were stolen and that Mr. Cornwell intended to
traffic the stolen property.
We review the sufficiency of the evidence to determine whether, after viewing the
evidence in the light most favorable to the State, any rational trier of fact could have
found the essential elements of the charged crime beyond a reasonable doubt. State v.
Pirtle, 127 Wn.2d 628. 643,904 P.2d 245 (1995). A claim of insufficiency admits the
truth of the State's evidence and all reasonable inferences from that evidence. State v.
I
11
I
I
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wI No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
Kintz, 169 Wn.2d 537,551,238 P.3d 470 (2010). Reviewing courts must defer to the
trier of fact "on issues of conflicting testimony, credibility of witnesses, and the
persuasiveness of the evidence." State v. Thomas, 150 Wn.2d 821, 874-75, 83 P.3d
970 (2004). "Credibility determinations are for the trier of fact and are not subject to
review." Id. at 874.
Possession of a Stolen Firearm. A person commits possession of a stolen
firearm when "he or she possesses, carries, delivers, sells, or is in control of a stolen
firearm." RCW 9A.56.310(1). The definition of "possessing stolen property" under
RCW 9A.56.140 applies to the crime of possessing a stolen firearm. RCW
9A.56.31 0(4). Under RCW 9A.56.140(1), "'[p]ossessing stolen property' means
knowingly to receive, retain, possess, conceal, or dispose of stolen property knowing
that it has been stolen and to withhold or appropriate the same to the use of any person
other than the true owner or person entitled thereto."
Mr. Cornwell first denied knowing the property located at his house, including the
guns, was stolen, but added "you can assume anything." RP at 324. When a detective
asked if Mr. Cornwell was trading drugs for the stolen items, he admitted he was
explaining, "I just like to help people out." RP at 323. Viewing this evidence in the light
most favorable to the State, any rational trier of fact could have found Mr. Cornwell
knowingly possessed property that had been stolen, including the two firearms. RCW
9A.56.140(1). Thus, sufficient evidence supports these convictions.
12
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wI No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
Trafficking in Stolen Property. To convict Mr. Cornwell of first degree trafficking
in stolen property, the State had to prove he "knowingly initiate[d], organize[d],
plan[ned], finance[d], direct[ed], manage[d], or supervise[d] the theft of property for sale
to others." RCW 9A.82.050(1).
As discussed above, the State presented evidence that Mr. Cornwell told
detectives they could "assume anything." RP at 324. He further admitted to trading
drugs for stolen property "to help people out." RP at 323. Mr. Cornwell was able to fill
his garage with two truckloads of stolen items in the passage of three days. A few days
before, his garage had been clean and uncluttered. Mr. Cornwell could not sustain this
volume of trade over time if he was not also transferring or trafficking the items.
Viewing this evidence in the light most favorable to the State, it is reasonable to infer
Mr. Cornwell intended to transfer the items. Thus, sufficient evidence exists to support
his first degree trafficking in stolen property conviction.
D. Prosecutorial Misconduct
The issue is whether Mr. Cornwell was denied a fair trial based on prosecutorial
misconduct. Mr. Cornwell contends, for the first time on appeal, the prosecutor
committed misconduct by arguing during closing that the large quantity of known stolen
property found at Mr. Cornwell'S residence was relevant to whether he knew the
Winchester shotgun and Japanese rifle were stolen.
Because Mr. Cornwell did not object at trial to this comment, our review is limited
to determining whether, if there was misconduct, it was so flagrant and ill-intentioned
13
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wI No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
that no curative instructions could have obviated the prejudice the misconduct
engendered. State v. Ziegler, 114 Wn.2d 533, 540,789 P.2d 79 (1990). And we must
reverse for prosecutorial misconduct when a substantial likelihood exists that the
argument affected the jury verdict. State v. Mak, 105 Wn.2d 692,726,718 P.2d 407,
cert. denied, 479 U.S. 995 (1986). The defense bears the burden of proving such
prejudice. State v. Hughes, 106 Wn.2d 176, 195,721 P.2d 902 (1986).
Here, the prosecutor stated, "If all we had here was perhaps a couple of items,
maybe the two firearms that belonged to Mr. McCaw and those were found, identified
and returned to Mr. McCaw there might be some difficulty as to whether or not Mr.
Cornwell knew that those firearms were stolen." RP at 441. The prosecutor continued,
"He had what we know is a lot of stolen property and he admitted to having -- knowing
that some of it was stolen .... You decide whether or not we have to have admission
from him, a statement from him that says he knew all of that property was stolen." RP
at 469.
A trier of fact is required to view "all" evidence presented at trial to determine
whether the crime's essential elements have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Salinas, 119 Wn.2d at 201. We defer to the fact-finder to resolve testimonial conflicts,
weigh evidence, and choose between evidentiary inferences. State v. Bryant, 89 Wn.
App. 857,869,950 P.2d 1004 (1998). Based on these requirements, the prosecutor's
comment that the jury should view all evidence in deciding whether Mr. Cornwell knew
the firearms were stolen does not amount to misconduct and does not rise to the level
14
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wI No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
of a flagrant and ill-intentioned comment. Accordingly, we conclude Mr. Cornwell fails to
establish prosecutorial misconduct.
E. Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
The issue is whether Mr. Cornwell was denied effective assistance of counsel.
He contends counsel was ineffective by failing to object to the jury instructions relating
to the four possession with intent to deliver offenses, failing to object to the prosecutor's
closing remarks, and failing to request a same criminal conduct analysis.
The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution declares the right to
assistance of counsel in criminal prosecutions. The Washington Constitution grants an
accused, in a criminal prosecution, the right to counsel. CONST. art. I, § 22. To
effectuate the purpose behind the constitutional provisions, the accused is entitled to
"effective assistance of counsel." Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S. Ct.
2052,80 L. Ed. 2d 674 (1984).
We review ineffective assistance of counsel claims de novo. In re Pers. Restraint
of Brett, 142 Wn.2d 868, 873, 16 P.3d 601 (2001). To prove ineffective assistance, a
defendant must show (1) counsel's performance was deficient and (2) the deficiency
resulted in prejudice. State v. Hendrickson, 129 Wn.2d 61,77-78,917 P.2d 563 (1996).
We strongly presume defense counsel's performance was not deficient. State v.
Reichenbach, 153 Wn.2d 126, 130, 101 P.3d 80 (2004). To rebut this presumption, a
defendant must show but for the deficient performance, the outcome of the trial would
have been different by a reasonable probability. Hendrickson, 129 Wn.2d at 78. A
15
No. 31762-5-111 cons. wI No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
failure to satisfy either prong is fatal to an ineffective assistance of counsel claim. Id. at
77-78.
Mr. Cornwell's deficient performance arguments have all been addressed, and
rejected, above. He has failed to show any reversible instructional error, prosecutorial
misconduct, or basis for a same criminal conduct finding to establish deficient
performance. Thus, Mr. Cornwell's ineffective assistance of counsel claim fails.
Therefore, we need not analyze the prejudice prong to ineffective assistance claims.
F. Statement of Additional Grounds for Review
In his pro se statement of additional grounds for review (SAG), Mr. Cornwell
alleges multiple reversible errors involving due process rights, prosecutorial misconduct,
the right to the presumption of innocence, ineffective assistance of counsel, double
jeopardy, evidentiary error, conflict of interest, and witness credibility. Several of these
eight issues were raised, and adequately addressed, by Mr. Cornwell's appellate
counsel. We, therefore, are not required to address them further. See RAP 10.1 O{a)
(providing the purpose of an SAG is to "identify and discuss those matters which the
defendant/appellant believes have not been adequately addressed by the brief filed by
the defendant/appellant's counsel"). The remaining issues involve the presumption of
innocence, evidentiary error, conflict of interest, and witness credibility.
Presumption of Innocence. The presumption of innocence, although not
articulated in the Constitution, "is a basic component of a fair trial under our system of
criminal justice." Estelle v. Williams, 425 U.S. 501, 503, 96 S. Ct. 1691,48 L. Ed. 2d
16No. 31762-5-111 cons. wI No. 31763-3-111
State v. Cornwell
126 (1976). Mr. Cornwell claims he was denied this presumption and cites legal
authority discussing, in general, the presumption of innocence, but fails to "inform the
court of the nature and occurrence of [the] alleged errors" in his SAG. RAP 10.1 O(c).
For this reason, it would be inappropriate for us to discuss this issue further.
Evidentiary Error. Next, Mr. Cornwell assigns error to "Evidence Certification
From WSP Lab." He cites an evidence rule relating to test reports by experts, but again
fails to "inform the court of the nature and occurrence of [the] alleged errors." RAP
10.10(c). Multiple lab reports exist in this case concerning the variety of controlled
substances found in Mr. Cornwell's home. Without argument clarifying Mr. Cornwell's
contention, we cannot analyze his contention.
Conflict of Interest. Mr. Cornwell next argues he was denied a fair trial based on
conflict of interest because his defense attorney has two daughters that dated Mr.
Cornwell's son. Mr. Cornwell claims he objected, but this court's record does not
contain any evidence of a possible conflict of interest. If Mr. Cornwell has evidence
outside this court's record, his argument would be best raised in a personal restraint
petition (PRP). See State v. McFarland, 127 Wn.2d 322, 335, 899 P.2d 1251 (1995)
(the proper procedure for raising issues dependent on matters outside the record is a
PRP).
Witness Credibility. Lastly, Mr. Cornwell contends the CI was not a credible
witness. Information is sufficient to issue a warrant if (1) the information demonstrated
