In re Pers. Restraint of Strandy
Annotate this Case
Petitioner Robert Strandy was convicted of two counts of felony murder and aggravated first degree murder. For sentencing purposes, the trial court merged the murder and aggravated murder convictions, but it did not vacate the felony murder convictions. On appeal to the Supreme Court, Petitioner argued that the trial court erred by not vacating the merged murder convictions. The Supreme Court granted discretionary review of the case and found that the trial court's omission constituted a violation of the Fifth Amendment prohibition against double jeopardy. The Court remanded the case to the trial court to vacate Petitioner's two felony murder convictions.
